Charging Minnesota's Electric Vehicles: Strategies that Work for the Electric Grid and Consumer

Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption is growing rapidly in Minnesota, with nearly 7 percent of all light-duty vehicles purchased in 2023 being electric. As of 2023, there were approximately 50,000 light-duty EVs registered in Minnesota, representing about 1 percent of light-duty vehicles in the state. Synapse Energy Economics, Inc. (Synapse) used an in-house model called EV-REDI to develop forecasts for EV stocks and sales in Minnesota for each year through 2030. Using possible EV adoption trajectories, Synapse estimated the energy consumption and peak demand impacts associated with EV charging. Their analysis demonstrates the benefit that managed EV charging can have on mitigating adverse impacts to the distribution system.
