EVs complement other green energy advancements Wind power peaks at night, when demand for energy is low Peak demand for EV charging is at night, making use of that wind supply Source: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com Source: EPRI
Cleaner energy sources make for cleaner cars In addition to the ability to use a cleaner fuel mix with lower emissions overall, cars running on electricity have no tailpipe emissions, which improves street level air quality.
About Electric Vehicles (EVs) Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Powered by an electric motor and engine as back-up Uses Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to charge battery All-Electric Vehicle Powered by an electric motor Uses Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to charge battery
Where do EV drivers charge? 70% - 80% at home 15%-20% at work 5% in public Even though most charging is done at home, workplace charging and public charging infrastructure help grow EV adoption because they reduce range anxiety. Data Source: EPRI
Types of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Type of Charging Charging Station 101 Range gained per hour of charge Level 1 110 V (~1.4 kw) Provides same electricity as a regular electrical outlet Level 2 220 V (~7.2 kw) More powerful than Level 1 charging Comprises majority of stations in the U.S. DC Fast Charger (50 kw) DC currently directly supplied to vehicle Commonly adds 60-80 miles of range in ~20 minutes Tesla SuperCharger (140 kw) Only available for Tesla vehicles Offers fastest charging rate currently available Extreme Fast Charging (350 kw) Provides significantly faster charge rates than anything else on the market. Still in R&D phase. 2-5 miles 10-20 miles Up to 180 miles 330 miles 787.5 miles
Cost Estimate for EVSE Installation
Level 2 Costs
Parking for EVs EV drivers do not expect premium parking spots Visibility of signage is one way to help control costs Strategies to prevent spots getting ICED
EV Integration Light Duty Municipal uses City inspectors Pool car vehicles Business uses Delivery Inter-city travel (PHEV) Other strategies Workplace charging for employees
EV Integration Medium/ Heavy Duty Source: Fleets for the Future Electric Vehicle Procurement Best Practices Guide
Financial Considerations Calculate return on investment/ cost of ownership https://www.afdc.energy.gov/tools Vehicle Cost Calculator AFLEET tool Incremental Costs Procurement Strategies State Bid to include EVs Fleets for the Future project Incentives & Grants http://www.fleetsforthefuture.org/
Three different rebates from Alliant Home charging $500 rebate for Level 2 home charging station Workplace charging $1,000 rebate for a single plug-in Level 2 unit (charges one car) $1,500 rebate for a dualprong Level 2 unit (charges two cars) New construction and multi-family housing $100 rebate for installing dedicated 240 volt wiring
Spurring DC fast car charging Direct Current, Level 3 fast car charging grants available The ideal location for a charging station has: Proximity to a highway (within 2 miles) and metropolitan area Safe, well-lit and convenient access Amenities Restrooms and drinking water
Volkswagen Settlement VW violated Clean Air Act, settled in court Funding for projects to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). 1. National Zero Emission Vehicle Investment (ZEV) 2 Billion nationally, 1.2 Billion spent outside CA Targeted metros of high EV growth and cross-country travel fast charging corridors 2. Environmental Mitigation Trust (EMT) States receiving allocations, up to 10 years to spend Iowa expecting $21 Million Eligible projects targeting medium/ heavy duty diesel Up to 15% can be spent on EVSE
Other Potential Programs Federal Transit Administration Low-No Emissions Program Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Competitive DOE Grants Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) Smart City Programs Adopt a charger initiatives
Community Initiatives Local zoning ordinances & building codes Indianapolis, IN provides density bonuses to include chargers Hartford, CT requires L2 wiring in some parking lots >35 stalls Palo Alto, CA requires L2 wiring some new developments (multi-family, office, and hotels) Des Moines, IA draft zoning ordinance addresses EV charging Public EV charging stations Coordination on DC Fast Charging Education National Drive Electric Week
Dubuque Initiatives City fleet analysis Potential benefits identified with EV sedans Prioritize 7 vehicles, average annual miles 9,665, from Housing, Building, Engineering & Health Departments National Drive Electric Week Community engagement at EV Ride and Drive Event DCFC interest Position Dubuque as a destination city for EV drivers Tourism, economic development opportunities
