§18774 Data Collection on Electric Vehicle Integration with the Electricity Grids

Summary

Within one year after November 15, 2021, the Administrator must set up and start collecting more data on how electric vehicles connect to and affect the electricity grid. The data can come from places like charging stations and charging networks, groups that combine charging demand, utilities that run managed-charging programs, owners of electric vehicles (individual, business, or public), and grid operators’ studies of transformer and distribution congestion. The Administrator can also work with other officials and groups that have useful data, such as the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary, the EPA Administrator, state agencies, and private companies.
