MIT team studies grid impacts of concentrated highway EV fast charging

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the MIT Energy Initiative have investigated the grid impacts of scaled up highway fast-charging (HFC) infrastructure by using an operations model of the 2033 Texas power grid with uniquely high spatial and temporal resolution. Transmission network upgrades can also effectively mitigate grid-HFC interactions.
