  • This study develops an integrated approach that includes EV charging and power generation to assess the complex cross-sector interactions of vehicle electrification and its environmental impact. The charging load from on-road EV operation is developed based on a regional-level transportation simulation and charging behavior simulation, considering different EV penetration levels, congestion levels, and charging strategies. The emissions from EGUs are estimated from a dispatch study in a power grid simulation using the charging load as a major input. A case study of Austin, Texas is performed to quantify the environmental impact of EV adoption on both on-road and EGU emission sources at the regional level. The results demonstrate the range of emission impact under a combination of factors.
