With a million plug-in electric vehicles potentially on the road in 10 years, U.S. and Canadian power grid operators said the adoption of smart grid technologies and staggered charging times would reduce the cars’ potential negative impact on electric load.

In a report, the ISO/RTO Council said most PEVs would be concentrated in the major U.S. metropolitan areas of the West Coast and Northeast, with an estimated 119,069 in the Los Angeles area and 54,000 in the New York area by 2019.
