Overview

With tens of millions of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs) projected to hit American roads by 2030, establishing a secure and scalable infrastructure is necessary to support the transition to an electric fleet. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Electric Vehicles at Scale Lab Consortium (EVs@Scale Lab Consortium) brings together national laboratories and key stakeholders to conduct infrastructure research and development to address challenges and barriers for high-power EV charging infrastructure that enable greater safety, grid operation reliability, and consumer confidence.

The scientists, engineers, and analysts of the EVs@Scale Lab Consortium are conducting research that will spur the development of affordable, convenient, and reliable charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) to help decarbonize the U.S. transportation sector and encourage greater EV consumer adoption rates. Transitioning to a nationwide fleet of on-road vehicles powered by electricity will bring the transportation sector closer to a zero-emission future.

Participating laboratories include the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory,  Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory.
