Abstract
As plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are projected to represent a significant share of the future U.S. light- and medium-duty vehicle fleet, EPA has developed new approaches to estimate the power sector emission implications (i.e., from electricity generation, transmission, and distribution system, which typically ends at a service drop; the run of cables from the electric power utility's distribution power lines to the point of connection to a customer's premises) of increased PEV charging. EPA combined the use of three analytical tools to incorporate grid- related emissions from PEV charging demand within the light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions inventory analysis for the proposal: 1) OMEGA; 2) a suite of electric vehicle infrastructure modeling tools (EVI-X) developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); 3) the Integrated Planning Model (IPM).
