Healey’s office announced Tuesday that the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) will funnel millions from a trust in part funded by ratepayers to support EV charging infrastructure through the fiscal year of 2027 and unveiled its updated EV plan in tandem with the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Coordinating Council (EVICC).
Massachusetts has some of the highest energy bills in the U.S. and strict climate goals, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050 and almost a million EVs on the road by 2030.
“Massachusetts remains a national leader in deploying EV charging, ranking first in charger density nationally,” Healey’s office said in a statement. “However, the EVICC Assessment finds that EV charger deployment needs to increase to meet demand from EV drivers and the Commonwealth’s climate requirements.”
