In a newly published article from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, Dr. Jonathan Snodgrass, Senior Research Engineer and Assistant Director for Modeling, Simulation and Outreach at the TEES Smart Grid Center, explores how widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption could strain — and potentially benefit — the power grid. The article highlights the concept of flexible EV charging, the load impacts of different charging levels, and ongoing collaborations with Texas A&M Transportation Institute and industry partners to study EV integration. Dr. Snodgrass and the team aim to help utilities and policymakers anticipate infrastructure upgrades, manage grid loads more effectively, and maximize the advantages of electrified transportation.
