EV partnerships Partnership with municipalities, and companies Coordinating purchase of 511 EVs in 2014 and 2015. Low unit prices due to large volume of EVs and charging stations Synergies, e.g. shared charging infrastructure, shared vehicles and information activities 18 municipalities (+ The Capital Region and The Danish Defence, Acquisition and Logistics Organization) and 11 companies (including Car sharing companies and the Postal Service). Similar in Jutland. New partnerships currently being formed.
Fleet analysis and potential of substitution with EVs in public fleets Task force visiting municipalities, the Region and public hospitals Identification of fossil fuel cars (incl. taxi and private use of cars) Analyses of TCO and CO 2 -reduction potential Development of plans for replacement of fossil fuel cars with EVs Organizational support for deployment of EVs
Fleet analysis 1 year of activities 20 out af 29 municipalities are in progress 2 said no thanks (due to existing resembling activities) 10 action plans are done Cars that are unsuitable: Cars with a hanger (that needs to pull a load) Lift for handicaped Crane Special adjustments
Results of fleet analysis Up to 75 % of the cars are technically feasible for replacement Up to 50 % of the cars are cheaper as EV on a TCO-calculation 5-40 % have been recommended replacement in the reports
Demonstration of EVs for municipalities and companies Offers visit to 20 municipalities and 25 larger companies by 4 EVs in two weeks Companies have to pay 400 Euro All 8 companies that have tried EVs have decided to buy! The task force tells that it is very different to talk with municipalities who have tried and who haven t tried EVs.
Information activities for companies Direct contact, combined with patience and EVs for testing seems to be the way.
Information activities to employees/public Demonstration of EVs to employees at arrangements, competitions, postcards, offers In one company 60 employees wanted to rent an EV for a week
The Capital Region as organisation The Capital Region council has recently decided that all (possible) vehicles should be EVs or other environmentally friendly vehicles. The Municipality of Copenhagen and Odense have made a similar decision. Establishment of public charging facilities at hospitals. EV car sharing at hospitals Information activities towards employees
Parathed i organisationen Første kontakt: Nogle har været helt klar og ønsket at være blandt de første Nogle har været ambitiøse fx også på cykler Nogle har allerede selv været i gang og har ønsket lidt andre typer løsninger Nogle er ikke klar til analyse. Grunde: - Har allerede fået foretaget flådeanalyse - Manglende ressourcer til kortlægning - Dårlige timing i forhold til planer på området el. organisationsændringer - Manglende fokus på transportområdet
