Abstract:

This report seeks to reach conclusions over the role that electric vehicles (EVs) and public charging

infrastructure should play in the future U.S. transportation system As demonstrated in this report, electric

vehicles are neither new nor technologically infeasible. Current circumstances have initiated what appears to

be a revival of the EV – these circumstances include high oil prices, geopolitical instability, and growing

awareness of environmental concerns resulting from conventional vehicles (CV) usage. Nevertheless,

impediments remain. One of the most important is the prospect of building public charging infrastructure to

allow drivers to use an EV like their conventional vehicle, for both long and short distances. Public charging

infrastructure, however, cannot be built without some critical mass of EVs on the road to use them –

otherwise they are not economically feasible. This report analyzes various facets of both EVs and public

charging infrastructure to give the reader a clear understanding of the complex criteria that must be

understood to assess EVs in the United States. Texas is given special consideration as a case study in this

report, particularly the Austin area where public charging infrastructure for EVs is currently being

implemented.
