The U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market continues to evolve, with this update capturing deployment activity — including purchases and leased vehicles — for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2025.
Case studies highlight these solutions in action: tools, programs and offerings from utilities across the country, including Dominion Energy, Portland General Electric, National Grid, Southern California Edison, and Pacific Gas and Electric. The paper concludes with recommendations for how utilities, and the Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) that regulate them, can explore and implement these solutions in their own jurisdictions.
The publicly available document provides guidance on how to successfully publish grid capacity maps and helps utilities think through that decision and the ramifications of making certain choices in what is published and how. It also offers a valuable starting point for utilities that have not yet begun hosting capacity analysis, helping them understand the landscape, anticipate challenges, and plan strategically for future publications.
Collaborating with DC fast charging stakeholders, Harvard-MIT researchers craft recommendations to help states speed deployment of publicly-funded fast chargers—enabling EV travel and boosting EV adoption.
A new paper by Elaine Buckberg and co-authors argues that U.S. states can turbo-charge electric-vehicle adoption without rebates or taxes—just data transparency.
This research paper covers many angles of the nascent EV battery recycling industry including the market size and future projections, existing facilities, benefits and challenges, existing legislation, international comparisons and policy recommendations.
These slides include additional updates on how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will impact EV adoption.
The team of Harvard and MIT researchers will collaborate with a broad set of public and private sector stakeholders to identify solutions, agree on ways to remove obstacles, and support progress toward meaningful results that will support EV adoption and the resulting climate benefits.
This paper highlights and explores some of the opportunities and barriers to transportation electrification, with a particular focus on accelerating MHDV electrification in the near term.
This update on the U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market presents ZE deployment statistics for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2024.
