Massachusetts needs to triple the number of public charging stations built annually, state officials said Tuesday, or else the state risks missing its 2030 electric vehicle targets.
Those findings were released as part of an updated state plan for building more charging stations, alongside an announcement that Massachusetts would allocate $46 million in state money over the coming fiscal year for public EV infrastructure. Of that, $30 million is intended for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle chargers.
Massachusetts’ new EV plan comes as the Trump administration demolishes the economic and regulatory tools the state relied on to electrify transportation.
Republicans’ new megalaw phases out subsidies for EVs after 2025 and charging stations after June 2026. Republicans this summer also used the Congressional Review Act to block California’s vehicle standards, which had been adopted by Massachusetts and 10 other states.
