(See Attachment for the list of attendees.) Review and Approval of Past Minutes and Action Items The group approved the minutes (#11-02) of the previous meeting (June 22, 2011) in Detroit. There were no Action Items from the previous meeting. Aluminum All Electric Bus Development Sylvain Castonguay, Centre National du Transport Avancé, gave a background on CNTA and its consortium with ALCOA (see Presentation). He described the needs of their client RTC (Réseau de transport de la Capitale), the bus operator for Quebec. Their all electric aluminum bus uses a TM4 drive train, lithium iron phosphate batteries and a combination of 8 hour overnight charging and 5 minute quick charge for a total of 180 km range. There are four 200 kw quick charge stations. During discussion, Mr. Castonguay noted that they will 1

2 monitor batteries, which will be discharged to 20% and quick charged to no more than 80%. Their batteries have a 120 kwh capacity. With a three year battery life, corresponding to about 2,000 cycles, the cost of battery replacement is cheaper than petroleum consumption. The participants expressed interest in remaining updated on the electric bus development. Electric mining vehicle & Lito Green Motion motorcycle Francois Adam, ITAQ (Quebec Advanced Transportation Institute), described the interdisciplinary partnership and the projects of ITAQ (see Presentation). The Minautor Project pertains to a heavy duty underground electric vehicle applicable to mining where air quality and ventilation requirements are essential. The vehicle, which uses 20 kwh lithium ion batteries and an aluminum frame, is currently undergoing underground tests. The SORA Project involves a new breed of electric motorcycles combined with information technology. The LITO Green Motion superbike has a top speed of over 160 kph, a battery pack for a 300 km urban range and a patented Safe Range System using GPS data to adjust motorcycle performance thereby ensuring that the destination is reached safely. During discussion, Mr. Adam noted that they expect the mining electric vehicle to be in commercial production in about one year. The vehicle has a payload of about 600 kg and the battery pack can do a full shift. The electric motorcycle has an on-board charger made to charge overnight. Paradigm Shift: A Proven Electric Solution For Urban Mass Transit Min Yuan, Aowei Technology in Shang Hai, spoke in place of Jared Schnader, Foton America. He described the characteristics of ultracapacitors and their application as an advanced energy storage device and power source for a municipal bus (see Presentation). The ultracapacitor bus has been operating in Shanghai since 2006, traveling 2 million km in 5 years and transporting 8 million passengers. Its average energy consumption is 0.98 kwh per km with an energy recovery of 20-40% due to regenerative braking. Mr. Yuan showed short videos of the charging and discharging cycle of a bus en route and an ultracapacitor city bus at the 2011 World Expo, which used a V, 250 A charge station. They estimate up to $20,000 savings in fuel costs, very low emissions, and a very low ultracapacitor malfunction rate. During discussion, Mr. Yuan noted that the ultracapacitors are about half the cost of lithium ion batteries of the same capacity. He clarified that the maintenance record in his slide showing five ultracapacitor breakdowns refer to the whole fleet of 12 buses. A fully loaded bus can handle a 12% grade. Mr. Yuan also pointed out other ultracapacitor applications including a heavy duty platform truck and coal train. NEC Article 626 Updates Greg Nieminski, EPRI Consultant, gave an update on the proposed revisions to the National Electrical Code Article 626 (see Attachments). The NEC Task Force will meet on September 1 to finalize four proposals all of which are intended to permit EV charging in electrified parking spaces at truck stops. The changes will refer to Article 625 for EV charging. IEC dealing with shore-to-ship connectors has been published. IEC regarding interchangeability requirements is now being translated to French. Comments have been received for IEC/ISO/IEEE , on cold ironing-high voltage shore connection systems-general requirements, and the comments will be reviewed at an October

3 meeting. The new work proposal for IEC/ISO/IEEE , which deals with the communication interface, will also be discussed at the October meeting. Next Meetings The next meetings of the IWC are scheduled for: December 13-14, 2011 at The PERA Club, Tempe, AZ Week of March 5, 2011 in Atlanta, GA Summary of Action Items There were no action items. Adjournment With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. 3
