FPL is a supporter of clean transportation FPL's Green Fleet Over a decade of leadership FPL Initiatives 100 million miles using biodiesel Over 570 HEVs, PHEVs and EVs EV Suitability Assessment in progress Plug-in electric vehicle promotion 100+ consumer education events a year Engaged in EDTA, DEF, Clean Cities DOE Workplace Charging Ambassador 150+ charging ports FPL's programs have been recognized by DOE 3
FPL is performing an internal fleet assessment FPL Fleet Initiative FPL is working with NREL and EZEV to evaluate current fleet vehicles Selected 25 vehicles in Customer Service Business Unit Monitor driving habits and vehicle parameters Benchmarking against Chevy Bolt (FPL owned) Determine if vehicles are good candidates for replacement with electric vehicles Report expected Fall 2017 4
Workplace charging encourages EV adoption Charging at Work People who can charge at work are 6x more likely to drive an EV than the average worker FPL has experienced the "workplace effect" 5
FPL launched a workplace charging pilot in mid-2015 Defining The Program Charging is free to: Employees Contractors Retirees Visitors Participants sign an agreement form Home is to be their principle place of charging Email is sent when charging is complete Move EV when notified Program administered by FPL s electric vehicle team 6
Most charging happens overnight at home, workplace and public sites allow for opportunity charging So Why Workplace Charging? The Mall at home at work on the go Charging away from home is an amenity - but workplace charging has a special effect... 7
Workplace charging encourages EV adoption The Workplace Effect "The Peer Effect" Where workplace charging is an option, EV adoption grows 6x FPL has seen it After one year, our workplace charging participation has grown 5.7x But wait, there's more Make your commitment to sustainability visible Drivers Help attract and retain a cutting-edge workforce FPL Participation Up 5.7x 150 100 116 Initial First Year 50 61 Total 0 13 8
Drivers A year later, we have seen rapid growth Participation Grew 5.7x Annual kwh: 1,250 per port Drivers by Site Site Drivers Juno 41 Jupiter West 10 Turkey Point 7 LFO 6 AOB 3 CSE 2 St. Lucie 2 Other 2 Total 74 Drivetrain Average Daily Commute N=74 PHEV 47% BEV 53% Miles 9
Match charging speed to distance driven and dwell time Evaluating Charging Options 10 hours 120 volt "Level 1" 5 miles per hour of charging Long dwell: Home & work 20 mile average commute 2 hours 240 volt "Level 2" 25 miles per hour Medium dwell: Retail 20 min DC Fast Charge 150+ miles per hour Short dwell: Highway 10
Charging should be visible, accessible and reliable Visible Employee EV "lunch and learns" Chargers grouped and green Accessible Promoting It Time limits / Move when charged Reliable Mostly a function of charger type 11
To minimize electrical work, place chargers close to panel Electrical Planning Wiring to pad Distance = $ Site chargers as close to panel as practical Level 1 / 120 volt Give each outlet a dedicated 20 amp circuit Level 2 / 240 volt A Level 2 charger can have 2 ports Each port can have a dedicated 40 amp circuit Networked chargers can share a circuit Level 2 Charger 2 ports A two-port charger serves two to four parking spaces Wiring can be the most expensive part 12
Select charging option based on needs Evaluating Charging Options 13 Open Open Restricted Networked Authorization None None RFID fob Network fob Example Application Employee Retail Apartments 1 As justified Administration Low Low Medium High Cost per dual-port station 2 Low $2,000 $5,000 $4,500 to $7,600 Annual network fees 3 na na na $180 to $280 per port (1) Apartment example: RFID card can be issued for a monthly premium. (2) Excludes electrical work and potential 30% Federal Tax Credit (3) Cellular networked chargers can report current and historical use and processes payments. Costs shown: GE and ChargePoint.
