2 What is Belmont Drives Electric? We are a community program for Belmont residents sponsored by the Belmont Energy Committee, Belmont Light, Sustainable Belmont, and Belmont EV enthusiasts. Goal to promote the use of EVs throughout town and to encourage EV owners to charge smart in order to reduce our town s impact on the environment. 50 NEW EVs by March 2017! How? by providing you with all the knowledge and tools necessary to decide whether driving electric is right for you and your family.

3 Goals in Belmont Climate Action Plan (2009): Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions 80% by % Belmont Citizens voted for it Green Community Designation (2014): Reduce emissions 20% in 5 years Achieved to-date (2007 to 2014): 5% CO2 reduction Not enough!!!

4 Vehicles cause much of Belmont s CO2 emissions Fuel Oil All Belmont Fuel Oil Residential Vehicles Electricity Vehicles Electricity Natural Gas Natural Gas - more than 1/3 of all emissions - almost half of all residential emissions

5 Why Drive Electric? Environmental Benefits

6 Comparison of Emissions for different Cars or Solar

7 Characteristics of Belmont vehicles Belmont MA Average miles traveled: 23.2 mi/day 33 mi/day Average fuel efficiency: 18 mpg 17 mpg

8 Best ways to reduce CO2 in your household EV Solar Heating 1. Replace your car with an EV (-3.2 t CO2) 2. Switch from Gas to Heatpump (-3 t CO2) 3. Solar (-2 t CO2)

70-110 mi) PHEV s go electric for daily drive

9 EV Range All EVs have enough range for daily driving (typ mi) PHEV s go electric for daily drive and gas for longer trips High-end EV s can go 200+ mi Range anxiety is not a big concern

10 Switching from a Car (29 mpg) to an EV (savings 2.2 t CO 2 ) is equivalent to: Driving 6400 fewer miles per year Consuming 220 fewer gallons of gasoline 90% of typical household electricity use Carbon capture of 3 acres of trees Sources: EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, U.S. Energy Information Administration
