11 The Growing PEV Market

12 Benefits of Workplace Charging Provides PEV drivers convenient and reliable refueling away from home Increases electric miles driven by employees Provides drivers with flexibility Creates local PEV showroom for information sharing Fills important element of California s charging network

13 Why Install Workplace Charging? Recruit and retain employees Green your image Improved commute increased employee productivity Help comply with local air quality and transportation policies LEED points toward certification

14 Residential Charging Equipment AC Level 1 Uses a standard 110/120- volt alternating current (VAC) three-pronged wall plug AC Level 2 Uses 208/240 VAC and can be hardwired or connected with a plug, but typically requires a contractor Images: & leviton.com

15 DC Fast Charging Uses commercial-grade 440 /480 VAC produces direct current (DC) to charge Commercial/Public due to costs Provides fast charge for some BEVs

16 How Quickly Will it Charge?

17 How to install and implement workplace charging

18 Step 1: Research Options and Develop a Plan Review key workplace charging resources Survey employees to determine current and future interest in PEV charging If you lease, talk to landlord or facility managers to obtain permission to install charging Evaluate electrical connections Create a budget Contact local utility for available rate options Explore any available incentives or tax credits Plan for future growth

19 Step 2: Choose a System and Assess Costs Charger options - Level 1? Level 2? - How many? - What capabilities? - Where will it be installed?

20 Step 2: Choose a System and Assess Costs

21 Step 3: Create and Follow an Installation Checklist Conduct a site assessment Check compliance with ADA Estimate electrical load Coordinate with local utility Contact equipment suppliers Hire contractor(s) Pull all necessary permits Install charging equipment

22 Step 4: Establish Internal Procedures Level of Access Priority System Optimization Payment options Public or Private Access EVs vs. PHEVs Integrate DG $/h, $kwh Employees and Guest Consider total building load Flat monthly rate Combine with fleet use Fleet vehicles Vehicle - Building Grid (V2G) Free 22

23 Key Considerations Plan for growth Usually more use than expected Etiquette Employees should have clear rules about etiquette Dedicate staff An employee is usually needed to manage the chargers and employee use

30 California Department of General Services - EVSE Case Study Thomas Piette, Supervising Architect, Sustainability Unit Thomas.piette@dgs.ca.gov October 9, 2014

31 4,000+ employees statewide, $1B budget Fleet administration Project management & real estate services Architectural and engineering design Legal services Division of the State Architect (access compliance) Green &sustainability projects Procurement services

32 DGS assists in the implementation of EO s EO B-16-12: sets specific goals for ZEV vehicles & State fleets EO B-18-12: sets specific goals for buildings, including electric vehicle charging

33 DGS EVSE-Leading by example DGS has 22 BEVs and 26 PHEVs in the fleet 63 EVSE installed in Sacramento - CEC grants $2M Interagency Agreement through the CEC Developing expertise in EVSE in order to offer design services to other State agencies Involved with the policy formation for EVSE Member of the ZEV Action Plan Working Group

34 Publications Developed by the Governor s Office of Planning & Research Collaboration of 40+ experts 176 pages, released Fall of 2013 Available for download at: debook.pdf Wealth of information for ZEVs

35 Community Readiness Guidebook Three main sections: Background information on ZEVs Recommendations for local communities Practical tools & templates

36 DGS Guidance Document DGS created the EVSE GUIDANCE DOCUMENT to complement the ZEV Community Readiness Guidebook

37 DGS Guidance Document Augments the public oriented ZEV Community Readiness Guidebook Expands information about EVSE More specific to state government Outlines requirements for state agencies Available on the DGS Green California Website : n.aspx

38 Procurement of EVSE Statewide contract for basic EVSE in place Upcoming contract for smart EVSE Includes: Purchasing of the EVSE, networking services, maintenance Available for state and participating local government agencies

39 Policy Formation Allow time for the formation of policies! Centralized or decentralized control of the EVSE DGS centralized statewide locations through fleet Collecting fees or free charging DGS started with free charging; July 1, 2014 switched to $1.15/hour Setting the fee level and where the money goes DGS fees include electricity cost, maintenance, EVSE network costs, personnel costs (but not installation) Dept. of Finance required specialized fee collection

40 Policy Formation Time limits at the EVSE DGS set a 4 hour limit Encourages vehicle rotation Allows more cars to charge Incentivizing ZEVs at state facilities DGS discounted monthly Parking fees DGS raises priority of ZEV drivers on waiting lists Result of the policies Lowered demand of EVSE by over 50% Controversy on the waiting list Provides more access for the must charge drivers Reduces peak demand for electricity

41 Networking Issues Smart EVSE require ongoing networking services Membership for a brand of EVSE Choice between proprietary and open source DGS chose OCPP open source Government agencies usually avoid proprietary due the sole source issues Decide who manages the networking and fee collection DGS centralized the function with the DGS Fleet

42 Access Compliance for EVSE Public agencies must provide services in an accessible manner, including EVSE Standards for EVSE are not yet specific to the technology Division of the State Architect has formed a working group to develop guidelines for EVSE accessibility DGS may likely co-locate at least one EVSE with an existing accessible parking stall

43 Planning & Installation Infrastructure is highly variable, evaluate before budgeting Best locations are: close proximity to the electrical panels, convenient for drivers & accessible Employ EVSE knowledgeable electrical engineers & contractors Plan and design with expansion in mind

44 Lessons Learned Start early! Budgeting, evaluation, design, bidding and installation could take 6 to 24 months Allow time for policy development regarding fees, placement, EVSE management, procurement, time limits and enforcement Evaluate the infrastructure before budgeting

45 Lessons Learned Consider accessibility in your design and placement Design for expansion Enlighten the decision makers about this new technology Inform the employees about the EVSE so they are encouraged to buy or lease ZEVs Watch the CA Energy Commission announcements for funding opportunities

51 Electric Vehicle Charging Started with level 1 (110V outlets) electric vehicle chargers offered free of charge In 2013, a corporate policy was issued not to provide power free of charge. In an effort to comply and to get on the EVC map, Disneyland Resort installed 30 networked electric vehicle chargers for Guest & Cast. There are additional plans for electric vehicle charging expansion to include resort-wide coverage. Existing EVCs Planned EVCs

52 Developing an EVC Strategy Focused on cost effective installation sites for maximum impact. Used demand analysis and pricing strategies to manage EVC supply & demand and pro forma development Developed a communication / signage strategy Developed a low touch operational and maintenance plan. Developed contingency plans for the unforeseen.

53 Post Implementation Observations After 6 months of utilization, Cast (employee) electric vehicle chargers are high utilization Currently, we have over 80 registered users Avg daily sessions: 1.5/charger Avg peak hour utilization rate is about 80%. The average charge (plug-in) time is 6.5 hours, with a 2.5 actual charge time. Avg KWh/vehicle is 8.12
