Electric mobility is not limited to cars Electric 2-wheelers: major phenomenon in China, where there are 25 million in the rolling stock and 3 million sales per year Low Speed Electric Vehicles: estimated at 4 million units in China (sales above 1 million). Not favoured by policy support but by cost and practicality (small size, no driving license/registration required) Buses: 36 in China. Close to 9 sales in 217. Stimulated by policy support. Growing interest in C4 cities (better economics: not only pollution and climate-driven phenomenon)
EV uptake is still largely driven by the policy environment All 1 leading countries in electric vehicle adoption have a range of policies in place to promote the uptake of electric cars Policies have been instrumental to make electric vehicles more appealing to customers, reduce risks for investors and encourage manufacturers to scale up production Key instruments deployed by local and national governments for supporting EV deployment: o public procurement o financial incentives facilitating the acquisition of EVs and reducing their usage cost (e.g. by offering free parking) o financial incentives and direct investment for the deployment of chargers o regulatory instruments, such as fuel economy standards and restrictions on the circulation of vehicles based on their tailpipe emissions performance
217 policy updates: China New Energy Vehicle (NEV) credits mandate o Target of the NEV credit mandate is 1% of the passenger car market in 219, and 12% in 22 Vehicle Subsidy Program: subsidies for the purchase of electric cars, dependent on three characteristics: the vehicle range (in km), energy efficiency (in kwh/1km) and battery pack energy density (in Wh/kg) Electric bus sales in China also promoted primarily by subsidies o o Started in 29 by the central government, supplemented by support from local authorities (pilot cities) and progressively reduced over time Policy update in 217 to prevent fraud: overall subsidy reduced and converted into operational subsidies to target the support scheme to transit operators of electric buses China is considering a national ban on ICE cars running on fossil fuels
217 policy updates: European Union Update of the CO 2 emissions standards for new cars and LCVs (to 23) o Inclusion of an incentive scheme aiming to stimulate the uptake of zero- and low-emission vehicles o The incentive scheme reduces (by up to 5%) the overall CO 2 target for manufacturers that exceed the 225 (15%) and 23 (3%) lowand zero-emission vehicle market share thresholds (shares calculated using weights) o No penalty for non-compliance of low-or zero emission targets France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, UK (+ Norway) pledged to end sales of ICEVs by 23 to 24 Selected examples of policies on zero emission buses: o Public procurement (Clean Vehicles Directive) o Netherlands: aims for all emissions-free bus sales by 225 & all-electric stock by 23 o C4 fossil-fuel-free streets declaration: only electric buses would added to the municipal fleets of Barcelona, Copenhagen, London, Milan, Oxford and Paris (plus others globally) EU roadmap: aim to reduce its GHG emissions by 8% in 25 compared with 199 levels o Emissions from transport could be reduced to more than 6% below 199 levels by 25
217 policy updates: India Dynamic situation: o FAME: incentive scheme that reduces the upfront purchase price of hybrid and electric vehicles (launched in 215) o April 217: vision aiming to have an all-electric vehicle fleet by 23 o o o o September 217: Tata Motors won 1 st public procurement EV tender by EESL December 217: SIAM white paper proposing a pathway towards all new vehicle sales being all electric by 247 and 1% of intra-city public transport as all electric by 23 February 218: Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises stated that it had not set any target for electric cars for 23 and referred back to FAME scheme for EV policy February 218: launch of the National E-Mobility Programme by the Ministry of Power. Focusing on creating the charging infrastructure and a policy framework so that by 23 more than 3% of vehicles in India are electric Greater coordination needed, but positive signs for EVs
217 policy updates: United States Federal level revision of fuel economy standards announced in April 218 Details of new standards still unknown California (granted a waiver by EPA to regulate CO 2 emissions) vowed to stick with the stricter rules o A number of other States followed California on this ZEV mandate also increased in ambition in California and other States o o 1.5 million ZEVs and 15% of effective sales by 225, 3.3 million in 8 States combined (California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont) Target of 5 million ZEVs by 23 in California There is a risk of a double standard in the US market o o More stringent rules for cars sold in California and the States that follow its lead Weaker rules for the rest of the States
National and local announcements for EVs and towards the end of ICEs + EV3@3 and country/state-level EV targets ICE phase-out pledges have been mainly announced in Europe China has also mentioned that it is considering the ICE phase out

EV electricity consumption (TWh) EVs lead to higher electricity demand Electricity demand due to EVs: 54 TWh (more than the electricity demand of Greece) 6 5 4 United States 3 2 China Other France Norway Germany Japan United Kingdom 1 215 216 217 2 Wheeler Bus LDV Netherlands Canada Others Around 91% of the power for electric vehicles in 217 was consumed in China The share of electricity demand from EVs was.8% in China and.5% in Norway
but they enable reductions in oil use, GHG & pollutant emissions EVs consume (in final energy terms) half to one third of the energy used by ICE powertrains o This is due both to the higher efficiency of the powertrain and the EVs ability to regenerate kinetic energy when braking EVs displaced.4 mb/d of diesel and gasoline demand in 217 o The majority of the displacement is attributed to two- and three-wheelers (73%), the rest to buses (15%) and LDVs (12%) EVs also allowed to reduce global well-to-wheel CO 2 emission savings of 29.4 Mt CO 2 in 217, and abated pollutant emission savings in high exposure areas (urban environments), thanks to zero tailpipe emissions

Policy recommendations
Policies favouring the transition to electric mobility CARBON PRICING PUBLIC BRIDGING THE FUEL ECONOMY LOCAL ACCESS ROAD PRICING OF FUELS PROCUREMENT PRICE GAP STANDARDS REGULATIONS PRIVATE & PUBLIC EVSE ROLLOUT DEMAND-DRIVEN & BUSINESS-DRIVEN EVSE SUCCESSFUL GRID INTEGRATION MATERIAL DEMAND MANAGEMENT SECOND LIFE, END-OF- LIFE AND RECYCLING
Stimulating the adoption of electric vehicles Carbon pricing on transport fuels Targets to phase in zero emission vehicles Public procurement programmes for zero-emission vehicles, providing a pivotal stimulus to market creation and expansion Bridging the price gap (adjusting to the EV uptake) o Differentiated taxes on vehicle purchase, best if based on environmental performances (bonus/malus, feebates) o Circulation advantages (free or discounted parking, free charging and access to priority traffic lanes and reduced charges on the use of transport infrastructure) Fuel economy standards Zero emission incentives (more flexible to technology development) or mandates (higher certitude) Local initiatives to regulate access
Focus on fuel economy standards and ZEV incentives/mandates Fuel-economy and tailpipe CO 2 emissions standards have demonstrated their efficacy to lead to improved ICE vehicle efficiency Standards must be sufficiently stringent to secure timely investment and help ramp-up production and supporting infrastructure Once legislated standards shall not be compromised by changes Standards can be coupled with differentiated purchase taxes Standards can also be coupled with ZEV incentives (more room for flexibility to manage technology uncertainties) or mandates (higher certitude on volumes) Life cycle approach desirable, but there is a risk of overlaps with other regulatory frameworks (such as those regulating emissions for the fuel supply chain) and implementation challenges Need to ensure that power generation and other fuels will also decarbonize (need for complementary measures in the power and fuel production sectors)
Focus on local initiatives Public procurement o Co-benefits for municipalities and businesses: Bulk purchase reduces units costs Helps OEMs scale-up Kick-starts EVSE deployment and the emergence of EVSE-related businesses o Benefits for the public: Demonstrates the technology to the public, makes EVs familiar in the daily environment Facilitates EVSE roll-out and the emergence of publicly accessible infrastructure o Buses: procurement deals allowing to lift capital cost barriers Regulating access o Low-emission zones: complementary to national-level targets and bans, easier to implement, they can have significant impacts o Concerns over clusterizing the market: harmonized labelling can provide clarity to both consumers and OEMs Integrate electrification with Mobility as a Service
Complementing fuel taxes with road pricing In the medium-to-long term, with growing EV sales: o Conventional vehicle sales and activity decreases o Government revenues from gasoline/diesel taxation decrease Alternative road transport taxation solutions will need to emerge: o Km-based tax is a solution to maintain government revenues with multiple technologies on the road o This can include a time/congestion-based component to target vehicles most responsible for infrastructure wear and pollution peaks Current government revenues from fuel taxation would be maintained by o A tax of USD.1/km in US and China o A tax of USD.8/km in Europe and Japan
Supporting the roll out of private chargers Private chargers have a number of advantages: low installation cots, low impact on the power grid (low power, possibility to enable night time charging) Measures suitable for their support include: Financial incentives, aiming to reduce the cost of installation for early adopters. They are also relevant for fleets, and need to be adapted as the market emerges. Regulatory instruments, such as: o Building regulations requiring minimum levels for the number of "EVready parking spots o Changes in property laws to to simplify and accelerate approval procedures for electric car owners to install and use charging infrastructure)
Supporting the roll out of publicly accessible chargers Defining deployment targets (in conjunction with vehicle deployment targets by mode) Direct investment (e.g. for the deployment of a critical mass of chargers, as well as for chargers to provide a minimum service level) Financial support, e.g. through financing from public entities at low interest rates, loan guarantees and other instruments covering the risk of default, and publicprivate partnerships, where the commercial risk is shared among private partners and the public sector Regulations, e.g. in the case of publicly accessible charger availability for individuals who do not have access to private parking The use of open standards is also important for vehicle-charge point communication and payment as a means to enable inter-operability between charging networks, increase innovation and competition, and reduce costs to drivers
Achieving demand- and business-driven EVSE development Business cases are needed: o High-frequency use locations o Complementary revenues streams, such as parking fees and income from commercial activities enabling the use of charging points Government guidance and support/regulations should ensure: the availability of EVSE in less frequented areas ( universal access and public service principles), via: o Public-private partnerships o Mandating EVSE providers to cover certain areas and encourage cross-subsidization of highly used EVSE towards less used EVSE Interoperability features and easy-to-use network for all Strong EV commitments also helps the private sector take ownership of EVSE roll-out (e.g. OEMs dedicated to establishing highway corridors)
Ensuring that EVs are effectively integrated in the electricity grid Power generation: variable renewable capacity additions are breaking records Local power distribution: need to minimize the risk of local grid disruptions and the need for costly grid upgrades Flexible charging is key To accommodate efficiently variable renewable generation (e.g. daytime workplace charging when PV generates most) To release pressure on the grid at high power demand peak hours To avoid grid disruptions locally, provide frequency and load balancing services How? Default vehicle software allowing flexibility Time-of-use pricing Smart-meters Regulatory environment favourable to aggregators Who pays for local grid upgrades? Utility? EV owner x? All EV owners? Everyone?
Managing changes in material demand from EV batteries Challenges (material procurement): o Fluctuating prices, stockpiling o Uncertainty for EV developments and battery technologies o Concentrated extraction (DRC for cobalt) Solutions: o Long-term contracts o Need clarity and certainty over future market key area with national/local governments influence (ZEV mandates, targets, bans) Challenges (social and environmental sustainability): o Environmental impact of mining o Black market/child labour o Extremely untransparent supply chains Solutions: o Multi-stakeholder actions and signals (governments, civil society, NGOs, industry) o Sustainability standards to be developed, labelling
Managing the battery end-of-life treatment Rules over legal responsibility for battery end-of-life (1 st /2 nd /3 rd life) o Risk of disengagement and no battery management chains / recycling o Risk of landfilling in-country or abroad (consumer electronics battery problem) Certifications and traceability schemes along the lifecycle of batteries (material extraction, assembly, use, 2 nd /3 rd life, recycling/disposal) Encourage manufacturing design enabling recycling processes that allow the recovery of high-value materials minimizing costs and energy use o Regulatory framework mandating that batteries are suitable for physical separation? o Need for multi-stakeholder coordination to understand scope for feasibility without hindering technological advances in battery chemistries/manufacturing
