Highlights Research roadmap for pavement-EV interaction is proposed. Three key pavement-EV interaction knowledge gaps are identified. Eleven key urgent research questions are defined.

    Abstract The electrification of vehicle fleets will play a major role in reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. This paradigm shift for both passenger and heavy vehicles, coupled with changing mobility and freight trends, will require a change in current understanding of pavement design and management. This paper synthesizes the impacts of increasing electric vehicles (EVs) and mobility trends on pavements, in order to produce a 25-year research roadmap. From the literature review conducted, three principal pavement-EV interaction knowledge gaps were identified: 1) effect of EVs and upcoming mobility trends on pavement degradation, 2) pavement-EV energy loss mechanisms, and 3) effect of pavement on EV operating costs and battery life and associated environmental impacts. From the results of this study, a research roadmap is proposed to better understand these issues and develop solutions for the key challenges expected over the next 25 years.
