1 Electric Vehicles in Queensland Doctors and Scientists for Social Justice 7 July 2010

2 What are electric vehicles (EVs)?

3 What is an EV? Electric Vehicle (EV) Uses electricity stored in an on-board battery; no oil Can recharge or swap battery E.g. Nissan LEAF Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Uses a small internal combustion engine to recharge the on-board batteries extend the distance they can travel E.g. Prius PHEV

4 Hydrogen Fuel cell Why EVs? Hybrid Diesel Ethanol CNG LPG

5 EVs are the most efficient vehicle option Prepared by Rare Consulting for Queensland Energy Resources, March 2010

6 Sustainable Transport Policy Drivers Global GHG Reduction Goals Emergence of New Technologies

7 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Goals

8 Australian Domestic Transport Emissions (2006)

9 Relative Emissions, Petrol vs. Electric Vehicle EVs Produce no tailpipe emissions

11 Energy Security / Peak Oil

13 Energy Security and Peak Oil Supply, costs, access, and availability are ongoing risks Theory of peak oil -- estimates of future oil supply optimistic supply will be constrained Source: EVs not reliant upon access to conventional oil Need to consider viable alternatives to petroleum-based transport

14 Fluctuating and Volatile Cost of Petrol In July 2008 we saw a record high of over 160 cpl (cents per litre) Depend upon international pricing and conversion rates Australia s self-sufficiency in oil and petroleum products will decline from 84% to 20%.

15 Emergence of New Technologies (given a need for alternatives) (Such as ELECTRIC VEHICLES)

16 Three key EV Enablers 1. Endorsement from the Auto Industry 2. Battery Capacity (for range) 3. Decreased energy storage cost

17 EV Enabler #1: Endorsement from Auto Industry Who s targeting Australia?

22 EV Enabler #3: Li-ion decreasing battery costs

23 Summary of Key Benefits of EVs And.

24 Challenges or Barriers to Entry Cost More expensive than traditional cars Rebates/subsidies can mitigate cost Vehicle Options Australia is an import market, limiting selection Public Perception Not for everyone Australia has no experience with EVs Electricity grid impacts a worry

25 When will charging happen? Dr Peter Pudney, Uni SA

28 Spectrum of Policy Options

29 Snapshot of Global EV Policy Spending Country France 1 Goal 2 million by 2020 Investment 400 million ($549 million USD) Germany 2 1 million by million ($705 million USD) United States South Korea 3 1 million by % by 2014 $2.4 billion USD 400bn won ($342.6million USD) Total: $3.9 billion! +

Smart Grid, Smart Cities $100 million for smart grid project in Newcastle NSW EV Label To be finalised; indicates EVs have no tailpipe emissions Canberra Project Better Place Partnership Victoria 60-vehicle EV Trial

31 Discussion paper What s happening in Queensland? Released 15 June Public Comment welcomed until 19 July Comments feed into EV policy development

32 EV Policy Development in Queensland EV20 Commitment Minister Jones (COP15) EV Roadmap and policy development Queensland policy on EVs by end 2010 Coordinated by OCC, but Whole-of- Government approach

33 EV20 Queensland Work to Date Signatory of EV20 The Climate Group s accord to accelerate the development and deployment of EVs globally

34 Mitsubishi imiev Arrival in Australia On 12 March, imievs arrived at Port of Brisbane Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability Kate Jones test drive

35 Ergon EV Pilot Program Ergon Energy launched a $200,000 EV pilot program in July Phase I: Develops smart charging and vehicle-to-grid technologies Phase II: Field trial evaluation field trial using more Mazda2 s converted to EVs by Energetique

36 Queensland Work to Date Premier s Climate Change Council (PCCC) Working Paper The paper considered the role that EVs can play and the measures that the Queensland Government could take to promote more sustainable transport.

37 Queensland Work to Date The Queensland Sustainable Energy Innovation Fund (QSEIF) QSEIF has awarded funding to a number of local clean vehicle enterprises

38 EV Policy Development Program of Work Focus on five major policy areas: 1. Environment Impacts 2. Recharging and Electricity Grid Impacts 3. Standards, Planning and Regulation 4. Consumer Uptake and Behaviour Change 5. Industry Development

39 Environmental and Resource Impacts Reducing greenhouse gases from passenger transport Ensuring domestic energy security and alternative to fossil fuels Minimising environmental impacts (e.g. battery recycling)

40 Electricity Grid Impacts and Charging Supporting electricity needs for all Queenslanders Promoting efficient utilisation of the existing network Keeping energy costs as low as possible Encouraging deployment of advanced technologies and intelligent systems

41 Standards, Planning and Regulation Keeping Queensland competitive with other markets Ensuring the safety of local motorists Planning ahead for new infrastructure systems

42 Consumer Uptake & Behaviour Change Understanding the habits and needs of Queensland drivers Learning about early EV adopters and what motivates them Raising awareness for alternative motoring

43 Industry Development in Queensland Promoting Queensland industry capability Encouraging growth in clean technology and renewable energy market sectors

44 VISION FOR THE FUTURE
