Brattle Group: electric power sector investments of $75B – $125B needed to support projected 20M EVs in US by 2030

Green Car Congress

The Brattle study shows the following system impacts of the growing EV fleet: 20 million EVs will add about 60–95 TWh of annual electricity demand and 10–20 GW of peak load, requiring 12–18 GW of renewable generation capacity and 1-2 million public chargers. Total annual gasoline savings of $12 billion/year translates to an 8.6-year
