2016/2025 CAFE Standards U.S. Market Forecast Consumer Attitudes Towards Alternative Fuel Vehicles HEV and BEV Sales Forecast Global Forecast Conclusions 2

What Will Happen to Gas Prices? Year 2009 2010 2011 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 2025 World oil price, Brent crude spot, $pb $61.57 $79.55 $84.39 $85.62 $94.73 $102.20 $113.47 $127.83 $154.37 Pump prices $/gallon $2.05 $2.65 $2.81 $2.85 $3.16 $3.41 $3.78 $4.26 $5.15 regular Source: Oxford Economics Consumer behaviour changes according to gas prices, not CAFE standards Crude oil prices are expected to remain below $100/bbl until 2016 Assuming no major increase in taxes, pump prices remain below $3.50/gal in the medium term We already experienced $4-4.50/gallon in summer 2008 people s behaviour changed Sustained gas prices over $4/gallon will lead to permanent change in the vehicle fleet from a size and powertrain perspective. But in our baseline scenario, nothing dramatic before 2020

Saving Gas Money Can be Costly Fuel Cost of Driving 12K Miles/YR for 5 Years 30,000 25,000 $24,000 Total Fuel Cost 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 $18,000 $14,400 $12,000 $12,000 $10,141 $9,000 $7,200 $7,200 $8,000 $6,000 $6,000 $5,070 $6,000 $3,600 $4,800 $3,000 $4,000 $3,380 $2,400 $2,000 15 20 25 30 35.5 50 60 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 Miles per Gallon At $6/gallon, going from 35.5 mpg to 60 mpg saves almost $6000 At $3/gallon, you only save $2000 Are the fuel savings obtained by going from 50 to 60 mpg worth the expense? Spending $10-15k on a Li-ion battery only makes sense to replace a sub 25 mpg vehicle @ $6/gal

For example, California will provide a $3.7 million fund for electric vehicle tax credits. Up to $5000 per vehicle will be provided. So potentially the first 740 BEVs sold in California will qualify for the credit on top of the $7500 federal tax credit. The state of Oregon provides a $750-1500 tax credit for BEVs, FCEVs and PHEVs. The state of Oklahoma will provide tax credits for alternative fuel vehicles starting on January 1, 2015.

Q4 2010 Hybrid and EV Forecast Update Hybrid sales peaked at 353,000 units in 2007 Sales dropped to 291,000 in 2009 with collapse of auto market (10.4m LV sales) Hybrid and EV sales expected to drop to 273k units in 2010. Share drops below 2.4% of light vehicle sales (forecast 11.5m) Toyota Prius continues to dominate, accounting for 50% of hybrid sales New Honda Insight has not posed a challenge to the Prius. Honda CR-Z (sales start 8/24/10) is only expected to sell 10-15k units p.a. Hybrid sales are highly correlated to gas prices, and gas prices have been below $3/gallon all year Long term, we expect hybrid sales to exceed 1 million units by 2014 2016 CAFE requirements will help hybrid sales reach 1.4m units by 2016, representing 8.3% of light vehicle sales Over 100 HEV and PHEV models will be available by 2014 Less than 100k BEVs by 2015, but over 140k PHEVs.

Consumers expect this to be possible with an average plug-in charge time of 5.8 hours. * Caution: Small sample size 15

Three out of four consumers feel that increased fuel economy warrants consideration of a clean diesel vehicle, while one-half specifically mention lower fuel costs. Traditional benefits of this powertrain regarding performance are among the least mentioned reasons for consideration. Why Are You Considering a Clean Diesel Vehicle? Better fuel economy 76% Lower fuel costs 50% Better for the environment Vehicle's range on one tank 44% 43% % Considering Decrease U.S. dependency on foreign oil Lower emissions Higher engine power/torque 32% 35% 35% HEV 62% FFV 43% CDV 16% None 19% Towing capability 21% Tax credit 16% Social status of being Clean Diesel owner 3% Other 1% Multiple Mention 0% 20% 40% 60% 80%

As with clean diesel considerer concerns, higher fuel costs is the greatest contributor to lack of consideration for this powertrain, followed closely by lack of knowledge and lack of thought Why Are You NOT Considering a Clean Diesel Vehicle? Higher fuel costs I don't know enough about it 45% 43% Never thought about it Concerned about fuel availability 20% 29% % Considering Cost premium of Clean Diesel 18% HEV 62% Desired vehicle not available with Clean Diesel engine Concerned about emissions Cost of ownership 13% 11% 11% FFV 43% CDV 16% None 19% Concerned about noise 10% Not a significant increase in fuel economy 9% Concerned about performance 6% Other 3% Multiple Mention 0% 20% 40% 60%

As pickup owners have traditionally found the most utility from diesel versions of a vehicle in their segment, these consumers are willing to pay the most for this technology. However, the increase in fuel economy expected is low, compared to other segment owners.

China Hybrid/Electric Forecast HYBRID/EV ASSESSMENT Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are expected to significantly outweigh the rest of the hybrid and electric vehicle options, accounting for around three quarters of all the volumes by 2020. The total demand for hybrid/ev market is projected to reach 472,000 units by 2020, accounting for nearly 2.3% of total passenger vehicle sales.

Japan Hybrid/Electric Forecast HYBRID/EV ASSESSMENT Japan has been the global leader in hybrid vehicle development since the mid-90s when the first generation Toyota Prius was launched. In 2009, Japan overtook the US to become the top hybrid market in the world with almost 350,000 hybrid sales compared to less than 300,000 units sold in the US. Mitsubishi and Nissan are already engaged in a price war for small BEVs in Japan, and we expect the market to grow as prices drop and more models are launched. Toyota plans to increase production by 7% in 2011 to 740,000 units globally.. Toyota s cumulative hybrid sales in Japan exceeded 1 million units as of July 31, 2010. Cumulative global sales exceeded 2.68 million. The plug-in market should approach 60,000 units by 2015 and 100,000 by 2020.

Competition/Threats To The Future Of HEV/PHEV/BEV What if Peak Oil is just a scare and gas prices remain below $4/gallon long-term? We might not need diesels or hybrids, let alone electric and plug-in vehicles Initial price premium for diesel: $1,000-4,000 Initial price premium of HEV: $2,000-10,000 (mild hybrid to full hybrid) Initial price premium of PHEV: est. $15,000 Initial price premium of BEV: $15-20,000 (over $50k for the Tesla Roadster) Conventional powertrain technology has plenty of room for improvement Engines: GDI: 8-12% gain Turbocharging: 5-10% gain Ecoboost: 15-20% gain VVT: 1-3% gain Cylinder deactivation: 5-6% gain Micro- or mild hybrid (stop-start): 7-10% gain HCCI: 10-20% gain Transmissions: DCT: 5-15% gain CVT vs. automatic: 3-5% gain Man-5 to Man-6: 1-2% gain 6/7/8 speed automatic transmission: 3-6% gain 25

Global and US Alternative Fuel Market Summary Economic, environmental, and security concerns continue to drive the growth of hybrid, plug-in and battery electric vehicle sales worldwide. Global sales of hybrid and electric vehicles are expected to grow from 732,000 units in 2009 to over 3.4mn units in 2015 and 5.2mn in 2020. Hybrid and PHEV sales grow from 728,000 units in 2009 to 2.8mn in 2015 and 3.9mn in 2020. PHEV sales will exceed 335,000 units by 2020, while EREV sales will exceed 110,000. BEV sales grow from less than 5,000 units in 2009 to almost 650,000 in 2015 and over 1.3mn in 2020. HEVs: the US will regain the lead from Japan starting in 2012, and the US will account for 53% of global HEV sales in 2015 and 44% in 2020. Asia will account for 32% in 2015 and 33% in 2020. U.S. consumers only consider fuel economy to be very important when gas prices are high Financial constraints will limit EV production and sales in favor of cheaper solutions to the fuel economy and emissions puzzles. This benefits diesels, hybrids and gasoline ICEs Fuel cell sales are expected to remain below 15,000 units p.a. for the next 10 years. Lithium may become the new black gold; will peak lithium replace peak oil? 2025: 45-50 mpg is a more realistic target than 62 mpg. Either way, we expect to see a significant increase in hybrid, diesel, diesel-electric, BEV and PHEV sales beyond 2020. Manufacturers will have gone through 3-4 generations of BEV/PHEV and achieved economies of scale and other cost reductions to make alt fuel vehicles more attractive to consumers. Oil prices are hard to predict, but the demand will be there in developed markets especially 26
