In this paper, we propose a unifying co-simulation framework integrating transportation demand, grid assets, land use, demographics, and emissions to optimally accelerate electric vehicle (EV) development as well as measure the impact of EV integration. 96 urban and long-haul truck charging demand simulations were developed and integrated into a combined transmission and distribution (T&D) simulation, encompassing the Houston/Dallas/Fort Worth area. The T&D scenarios are then used to develop cost optimization strategies to determine optimal placement and sizing of truck charging infrastructure that minimize infrastructure costs.
