Electric Vehicle Cost-Benefit Framework

The Electric Vehicle Cost-Benefit (EV-CB) Framework is a spreadsheet-based tool for projecting the societal costs and benefits of electric vehicle penetration scenarios and charging patterns (e.g., off-peak and on-peak). Bloomberg New Energy Finance projects that worldwide EVs could account for more than 50% of new car sales by 2040.

The framework projects: (1) fuel and maintenance costs; (2) electric utility rate impacts; (3) electric distribution infrastructure costs; and (4) greenhouse gas emissions. The framework has been applied in a number of states and utility service territories for the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), Ceres, and utility companies.

Below are links to some of the studies that have relied on the EV-CB Framework. The analyses project societal costs and benefits for different PEV penetration levels through 2030 and 2050. MJB&A continues to refine and expand the scope of the EV-CB Framework.
