16 Oregon Trucking Association, Inc. Oregon Truck Dispatch ATRI’s research identified key findings in each of these three infrastructure components. New research from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) provides an assessment of the infrastructure needs for electrification of the U.S. vehicle fleet, with an emphasis on the trucking industry. This analysis focuses on three infrastructure components that may prove challenging for electrifying the nation’s vehicle fleet: 1 U.S. Electricity Supply and Demand 2 Electric Vehicle Production 3 Truck Charging Requirements Full electrification of the U.S. vehicle fleet would require a large percentage of the country’s existing electricity generation including: • 26.3 percent for passenger cars and trucks • 14 percent for all freight trucks, including 10.6 percent for long-haul trucks • 40.3 percent for all vehicles WA 31.8% OR 36.2% MT 46.3% WY 42.6% NV 35.9% UT 62.9% CA 57.2% AZ 40.2% NM 52.1% CO 41.9% ID 38.8% AK 42.5% HI 42.2% TX 32.0% OK 38.7% KS 42.7% NE 39.0% SD 45.6% ND 30.1% MN 42.5% IA 35.9% MO 54.6% LA 28.3% AR 46.9% MS 43.2% AL 40.9% FL 38.7% GA 44.8% SC 30.8% TN 43.6% NC 38.5% WI 45.8% MI 42.3% IL 37.8% IN 42.8% OH 37.1% KY 33.8% WV 29.7% VA 31.6% PA 31.6% NY 34.3% ME 60.2% NH 50.1% • VT 55.8% • • MA 47.5% • RI 39.4% • CT 44.7% • NJ 40.9% • DE 38.1% • MD 38.9% • DC 11.1% ELECTRICITY NEEDS ARE SIGNIFICANT Charging Infrastructure Challenges for the U.S. Electric Vehicle Fleet NEW REPORT! CHALLENGE #1 U.S. Electricity Supply and Demand CHALLENGE #2 Electric Vehicle Production CHALLENGE #3 Truck Charging Requirements Electricity Production Power Grid User Demand Mining Parking Charging Costs Raw Materials Environment/ Social Issues Country of Origin Percent of Total Generation Required: 0.0%–11.1% 11.2%–36.2% 36.3%–42.8% 42.9%–50.0% 50.1%–62.9% Some states would need more than 50 percent of current electricity generation to meet vehicle travel needs (see map at right). Large-scale infrastructure investment would be a necessary precursor to electrification.
