1 Emerging international best practices to promote electric vehicles Nic Lutsey AVERE E-mobility Conference Amsterdam, Netherlands April 13, 2016

2 Global electric vehicle sales since 2009 Sales of electric vehicles through 2015 There were over 500,000 electric vehicle sales in 2015 The 1 millionth electric vehicle was sold in September 2015 Sales mostly in China, Europe, the U.S. (and concentrated in particular markets) Electric vehicle sales 500, , , , ,000 Rest of world US Japan Europe China Note: Only passenger vehicles shown

3 United States City-level analysis of EV policy, incentives, charging infrastructure

4 123.0% 118.0% 113.0% 108.0% 103.0% 98.0% 93.0% 88.0% 83.0% 78.0% 49.6% 44.6% 39.6% 34.6% 29.6% 24.6% 73.0% Electric vehicle (EV) activity across major US cities The top-25 metropolitan areas in 2014 in the US represent. 42% of the population, 46% of auto sales, 67% of EV sales 53% of public electric vehicle charging infrastructure Diverse mix of incentive, market factors, and percent EV uptake Seattle Portland Minneapolis Detroit Boston San Francisco Denver Chicago St Louis Pittsburgh New York Philadelphia Baltimore Washington Share of new vehicles 0.5% 1% 3% Los Angeles San Diego BEV PHEV Riverside Phoenix Dallas San Antonio Houston Atlanta Tampa Charlotte EV shares are new PHEVs and BEVs, as percent of light-duty vehicle registrations, in 2014 from IHS Automotive Miami 4

5 Analysis of US city EV uptake, charging, promotion activities Example: San Francisco area has had steady mix of consumer incentives, promotion actions, and charging infrastructure support and has 7x the US average EV uptake San Francisco Atlanta Los Angeles San Diego Seattle Portland Riverside Detroit Phoenix Washington Denver Tampa Miami Boston New York Baltimore Dallas Chicago Philadelphia St. Louis New electric vehicle share 0% 2% 4% 6% Battery electric vehicles Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles Chargers per capita (per million population) DC fast Level 2 Electric vehicle promotion actions State City Infrastructure Utility Consumer incentive $0 $2,000 $4,000 Other Public charging HOV access State subsidy 5

6 Actions to promote EVs across US cities Electric vehicle promotion actions San Francisco Los Angeles San Diego Riverside Washington Portland Charlotte New York Atlanta Chicago Boston Denver Seattle Houston St. Louis Baltimore Dallas Phoenix Philadelphia San Antonio Detroit Tampa Miami Minneapolis Pittsburgh Average 25 cities Utility Preferential charging rate Home charger support Website, inform. materials Cost comparison tool Other utility outreach Infrastructure EV supply equipment financing City-owned EV chargers US DOE EV Project area Streamlined EVSE permit process PEV-ready building code Workplace charging City Vehicle purchase support Parking support Fleet purchasing Carpool lane (HOV) access Car sharing program link Electric vehicle strategy Website or inform. materials Outreach or education events State ZEV program BEV purchase subsidy PHEV purchase subsidy Fee exemption or exemption Home charger support Public charging support Parking benefit Fleet purchasing incentive Manufacturing incentives Low carbon fuel policy 6

7 Europe Region analysis of electric vehicle policy and uptake

9 EV incentives, charging availability, new vehicle share Charging points per 1,000 registered cars Charging points per 1,000 registered cars Stuttgart (0.5%) Berlin (0.3%) Germany (0.4%) Netherlands (3.9%) Amsterdam (4.1%) Utrecht (5%) Glasgow (0.6%) Paris (1.1%) London (0.9%) UK (0.6%) France (0.7%) Poitou-Charentes (0.5%) Norway (13.7%) 0 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Oslo (20%) Bergen (20%) 20% 40% 60% Fiscal incentive for an EV as a percentage ofthe price (incl. taxes) of a comparable gasoline car Country DE FR NL NO UK EV new car share 1% 5% 10% 15% 20% Tietge et al (2016).

10 International Electric vehicle incentive design, collaboration

11 Effective EV incentive design Markets with highest EV sales and EV shares have generally adopted most of the principles for effective incentive design Electric vehicle uptake Incentive design principles Market Electric vehicle sales Electric vehicle share Substantial BEV Substantial PHEV Upfront Lease Company Private Durable Simple California X X / X X X X X Japan X X / X X X X / Norway X X X X X X X / Netherlands X X / X X / / / United Kingdom X X X X X / X X France / X X X X X / / Beijing X / X X X X / X Sweden / / / X X X / X Washington X X X X X X X / Denmark X X X X / X / / Notes: X denotes principle is generally met; / denotes principle partially met Source: Yang, et al (2016).

13 Collaboration: International ZEV Alliance Collaborate on best-practice policies, action plans Set electric-drive vehicle target: All electric by 2050 To achieve climate stabilization goals To set clear signal for policy and investment Light-duty vehicle sales share 100% 80% Non electric-drive 60% Plug-in hybrid electric 40% Battery electric 20% Hydrogen fuel cell 0% British Columbia - California - Connecticut - Germany - Maryland - Massachusetts - Netherlands - New York - Norway - Oregon - Québec - Rhode Island - United Kingdom - Vermont International ZEV Alliance: COP21 announcement: Mitigation potential: 13

14 Conclusions EV promotion actions are accelerating EV adoption United States: Incentives, charging, model availability, city non-monetary benefits Europe: Incentives, charging infrastructure, complementary local action, etc International: Incentives, and incentive design, matter Analysis confirms importance of ecosystem approach Public charging and consumer incentives work, but more diverse action needed Cities, states, utilities, automakers, consumers, local businesses all have roles International collaboration is also important Continued learning on best practice policies 14
