Scenario analysis Three EV scenarios designed to cover the playing field Reference scenario: TREMOVE 3.3.1 Current policy measures implemented, no EVs 4 vehicle types: Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (ICE) Full Electric Vehicles (FEV) Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) Extended range range electric vehicle (EREV) In all scenarios: EVs replace ICEs i.e. number of vehicles and annual mileages are the same in all scenarios. Passenger cars only 4
Three EV scenarios Scenario 1: Most realistic Input parameters based on results of WP1-4 Only innovators interested while costs are high. Production capacity, # of charging points increase over time. Smart charging (i.e. during base load) from 22 onwards Scenario 2: ICE breakthrough Optimistic estimates for costs and fuel efficiency of ICEs Battery costs reduce less fast than in scenario 1. Consumer interest limited to innovators and niche markets, charging possibilities remain limited Scenario 3: EV breakthrough Rapid decrease of battery cost, from 215 onwards. Cost become competitive, ranges increase and costs reduce Volume growth restricted by production capacity, consumer scepticism, grid bottlenecks etc. 5

Impact of EV market uptake: main conclusions Petrol and diesel demand reduces Power capacity and production increases (mainly gas and coal) CO 2 emissions reduce (4-1% in 23) NO x emissions increase, PM 1 emissions reduce Effects limited, at least until 22/225 Lithium: signficiant production increases required A large range of economic impacts Government revenues reduce over time, if not adapted 14
A large range of relevant (existing) policies Vehicle regulation CO 2 and Cars Regulation, CO 2 regulation for light commercial vehicles Framework Directive for Type-approval of Motor Vehicles Directive Relating to Consumer Information on Fuel Economy, Directive to Promote Clean and Energy Efficient Vehicles Regulation of energy carriers Renewable Energy Directive Fuel Quality Directive ETS Directive Fiscal policies Framework Directive for the Taxation of Energy Products and Electricity Eurovignette Directive Other relevant policies Raw Materials Initiative, End-of-Life Vehicles Directive, Batteries Directive, Directive on information in the field of technical standards and regulations 15
EV related policy goals and timing Various goals may be pursued: Facilitate EV market uptake Influence impacts Avoid harmful market distortions Policies may vary over time EV share regional scale charging infrastructure broad market uptake large scale charging infrastructure innovators pilot projects specific market segments governmental incentives gov.

CO 2 and cars regulation (1) EVs may have significant impact on the CO 2 and cars regulation and vice versa Zero counting Super credits (temporary) Effective incentive for EV development and sales CO 2 -emissions of electricity production neglected Risk of market distortion Actual (WTW) emissions higher than the CO 2 standard suggests Energy efficiency in EVs not promoted. 17
CO 2 and cars regulation (2) Policy options: Maintain the current system Add EV energy efficiency limits to existing regulation Establish WTW GHG emission stardards Replace current system with energy efficiency standards Conclusions: Current system effective for the short term, but should be adapted if EV market shares increase. Establish WTW emission standards, with EU average Well-to-Tank emissions for both fuels and electricity 18
Policy conclusions EVs impact on a large range of policy areas (and vice versa) Many need to be adapted when EVs enter the market Some may require action in the short term e.g. standardisation of charging Others should be reviewed to assess whether action is needed in the medium or longer term e.g. CO 2 regulation of cars, harmonisation of fiscal policies, smart charging, charging infrastructure issues 19
