Fact Sheet: Combatting Range Loss in Extreme Cold

2024-01-08T16:36:15-05:00

Cold weather range loss for electric vehicles is real. However, that has not stopped chilly cities from deploying electric buses and trucks. To counteract cold weather range loss, fleets have taken advantage of technological advances in electric trucks and buses and have employed mitigation and adaptation strategies. This fact sheet discuses on-the-ground success of pre-heating the interior and battery, strategic planning and adaptation, more efficient heating technology, and longer ranges with newer vehicles.

Your Influence Matters: Peer Influence and EV Adoption

2023-12-14T13:45:16-05:00

Whether it’s called peer pressure, social contagion, or the neighborhood effect, the phenomenon is clear: as social beings, humans have the ability to influence one another by their actions. In this report, Generation180 explores how peer influence is playing a key role in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the United States.

Manufacturing Capacity for Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles in the United States

2024-01-23T10:53:37-05:00

​Atlas Public Policy assessed the current and planned production capacity for class 4-8 heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles in the United States based on publicly available information from vehicle manufacturers and news sources. The report discusses manufacturers plans to increase manufacturing capacity for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles through building new facilities, expanding existing facilities, and the recalibration of production at facilities that are capable of producing both internal combustion and zero-emission vehicles side-by-side.

Evaluating EV Charger Reliability and Performance

2023-12-07T12:38:32-05:00

In an effort to identify processes for measuring, verifying, and evaluating charger reliability and performance, the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) convened an online Evaluating EV Charger Reliability and Performance Charrette on June 13, 2023. The charette was facilitated by Atlas Public Policy staff, and invited participants included a balanced representation of stakeholders from the EV charging industry, state and federal government agencies, including State Energy Offices and State Departments of Transportation, utilities, and consulting firms.

Implementation Guide for Minimum Required Error Codes in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

2023-12-14T14:09:28-05:00

The objective of this report is to provide a guide that accelerates the MREC adoption proposed by the ChargeX consortium, ensuring consistent error reporting, interpretation, and diagnostics across the North American EV charging landscape. This guide builds upon the MRECs report to improve EV charging reliability by streamlining error reporting and transmission processes via OCPP.
