IPL Part of EV Project with ESN Project Plug-IN Support 150 home-based and 50 public/fleet chargers Include time-based rates for EV charging Collect information for ~12 to 18 months to manage grid impacts
Why did IPL create EV Tariffs? Measure Potential Grid Impact Enhance customer experience Understand electrical requirements for charging Show drivers what they are using like gasoline pump Align prices with actual costs Foster adoption of Electric Vehicles in Indiana Environmental Advantages Reduce emissions, homeland security & energy independence
EV Tariff Challenges Customer Expectations Different uses home, work, public Fuel savings with standard tariff rates Convenient and easy to understand Recognize driving/behavior changes with EVs Use EV TOU rate, but avoid TOU for entire house Distribution System demand impacts Metering
Distribution System Impacts 12.0 10.0 8.0 EV Impact on Residential Demand 6.6 kws 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 3.3 4.5 4.5 1st Generation EVs 2nd Generation EVs Household EV This relates to 75% to 125% increase in demand but only 20% increase in consumption based on estimated consumption ~ 2,500 kwhrs per year for 12,000 miles.
Sub-Metering Options AMR meter not sure of interval success Metering circuit board in charger (+/-2%) (Possible delay until Q3) EVSE revenue grade meter module available (+/- 0.5%) for additional ~ $100-$150 Data logging in vehicle AMI meter via Silver Spring Networks (planned but limited) Traditional meter manual read (interim)
Tariff Design Concepts Provide price signals strong enough to develop desirable charging behavior Avoid re-training customers Recognize customer behavior change required for EV itself Incorporate demand component through allocation of avoided capacity costs which impact the transformer capacity issue Keep It Simple
Customer Premise Rate EVX Summer and winter time periods Riders apply EVX Rates Non-Holiday Weekdays Holidays & Weekends Price / kwh Peak 2pm-7pm 12.150 Summer (Jun- Sept) Mid-Peak Off-Peak 10am-2pm; 7pm-10pm 12am-10am; 10pm-12am 10am-10pm 5.507 12am-10am; 10pm-12am 2.331 Winter (Jan -May; Oct -Dec) Peak 8am-8pm 8am-8pm 6.910 Off-Peak 12am-8am; 8pm-12am 12am-8am; 8pm-12am 2.764
Public Rate EVP Recognize range anxiety Voluntary program Flat fee per session ($2.50) Not time limited Foster EV adoption/public awareness
Stakeholder Collaboration Project Plug-In Not-for-profit consortium to foster EV adoption Vehicle and battery OEMs, other utilities, universities, State Office of Energy, MISO Purdue University Completed Modeling, joint whitepaper to be published soon Ride and Drive Events Corporations, Public parks, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Over 25 outreach events Q1 to Q3 2011 Not-for-profit events, schools, state fair, energy fairs
Experience to date Positive Customer Feedback 40 customer premise chargers active 12 public chargers active 6 more public chargers expected by December Challenges Equipment & software availability 1 st to deploy wifi enabled units Internal process development Metering and Billing integration has been slow Regulatory stakeholder education Permitting nuances for commercial sites Vehicle availability
National Perspective Customer premise EV rates At least 14 companies have time of use (TOU) rates Two or three tiered Seasonal changes Whole-house or separately metered Several other utilities are studying rate design Public EV Charging Most with no charge IPL = flat fee Several Subscription based (i.e. DTE and evgo)
