The PEV Market and Infrastructure Needs Dahlia Garas, Program Director PH&EV Research Center Presenting Research by: Dr. Gil Tal Dr. Mike Nicholas ITS-DAVIS BOARD OF ADVISORS CLEAN TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH UPDATE November 18, 2013
LOOKING AT INTERACTIONS WITHIN PEV MARKET $ Vehicle Purchase Do customers have sufficient capital? Do customers have a garage? Can users install charging? Do driving patterns match an EV range? Will it save people money based on driving patterns (enough usage)? Driving Behavior Do EV users drive EVs differently? Will they develop a new EV Driving Territory? How do users maximize the cost benefits of their EV? Charging When, where, and how much will people use chargers? What motivates people to use a specific charger? How does pricing change charger usage? Is charging reliable? How many chargers are available?
NEW CAR BUYERS 7% of HH purchased 2+ cars = 35% of the new cars 27% purchased 1 car = 65% of the new car purchases 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% No new cars 1 New Car 2+ new Cars 66% of the households did not purchase a new car in last 5 years 7% of the households are responsible for 1/3 of the market New car purchases are highly correlated with income but not all high income households buy new cars & some lower income households purchased one or more new cars

GLASS HALF-EMPTY OR HALF-FULL? Half empty: More than 80% of the market is based on 4 models Sales rate is growing linearly Half full: First 2 years of PEV sales outpacing HEV s first 2 years BEVs & PHEVs separately ~same as HEV rate World PEV total 200,000+, USA PEV total 140,000+ (~10,000/month) Sales rate is growing linearly California is ~40% of USA market Many new models Sales within some segments look strong Luxury sedans (Tesla Model S) compact sedans (Volt, Leaf)
PEVS ARE REGIONALLY CLUSTERED 3% to 5% percent of the addresses here have a plug in car.

WHERE CAN WE FIND THE NEXT PEV BUYERS? PEV sales strong in particular locations High income, high education, homeowners Sales of PHEVs and BEVs in slightly different ratios Market will grow faster in these locations than other areas for many years Likely repeat buyers with present households Used PEVs will enter market and broaden it Importance of social processes Social influence at workplaces, localized social network effects Social symbolic role of PEVs (and EVSEs) as future technology California policy Importance of HOV stickers Public infrastructure (free?) more important to market growth than evmt? Adjust CVRP to maximize benefit for given amount of money Open question: Can California market (ZEV mandate) create critical mass of models & sales?

NEW RESEARCH FINDINGS... (and questions) Sales are regional & show some degree of buyer self-selection How much influence do workplaces, social networks, etc. have on sales? The PEV market is growing at a steady rate What role do rebates, HOV access, free charging and other incentives have on sales? Low Power (Level 1 or 2) can satisfy 80% of workplace charging needs of current PEVs (results from both model & survey work) Free charging will increase number of chargers/charging events four-fold over charging that costs more than home electricity Workplace charging demand approx. doubles if home electricity Free charging, especially at work, may help grow PEV market but is unlikely to increase evmt We don t know degree to which free workplace charging helps sell cars Is our current goal PEV sales or evmt? What is the long term goal?
