Electric Vehicles and ZEVs Zero Emissions Technology Market Growth Charging Infrastructure ZEV Policies/Incentives
Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) Increase the adoption of ZEVs to reduce GHG emissions in our region
Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) What is a ZEV? Emits zero tailpipe pollution Includes battery-electric vehicles, fuel-cell vehicles
Benefits of electric vehicles: Overall lifetime costs are less. EVs have better technology that is easier to maintain. EVs utilize an induction motor Less prone to failure than an internal combustion engine. No oil changes ever Cost of fueling with electricity fraction of cost of gasoline. Fewer upstream emissions Thanks to abundant hydropower Electric Vehicle Benefits
Zero-Emission Vehicles Light Duty Range: EVs Chevy Bolt: 238 miles $37k Nissan Leaf: 150 miles $30k Tesla 3: 220 miles $35k All-electric, or battery electric vehicles. Runs exclusively on battery power (no gas!) Zero tailpipe emissions Examples: Nissan LEAF, Chevy Bolt, BMW i3, Tesla S, 3, X

Cost of infrastructure Zero-Emission Vehicles Infrastructure Source: https://www.afdc.energy.gov/uploads/publication/evse_cost_report_2015.pdf
Zero-Emission Vehicles Infrastructure WA has 2000+ charging outlets with more coming online every week
State: Zero-Emission Vehicles Until May 2018, WA offered a sales tax exemption for light-duty ZEV purchases Incentives Federal: Electric Vehicle Tax Credit Offers credits from $2500 - $7500 Phased out as each automaker sells 200,000 qualifying vehicles
Zero-Emission Vehicles Global Trends Globally, more and more cities/countries pledging to fully electrify UK, France & Taiwan ban on ICE vehicles by 2040 Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands prohibit new ICE vehicle sales by 2030 LA, NYC, King County aim to electrify buses by 2040
Policies and Incentives to Consider Set a Carbon Reduction Goal!
Policies and Incentives to Consider Drive Clean Seattle Goal: Carbon neutral by 2050 Actions: Increase the adoption of electric vehicles by facilitating access to charging. Develop a network of off-street charging station clusters Allow electric vehicle charging in the right-of-way through Director's Rule. Install 20 DC fast chargers as part of Seattle City Light DCFC pilot project in 2017 and early 2018 Launch City Light residential charging pilot project to install at least 200 EV chargers in customer's homes. Develop EV ready code packages to ensure buildings and parking infrastructure can accommodate electric vehicles Electrify the city's fleet to demonstrate best practices. Install 200 new charging stations for fleet vehicles in 2017/18 and achieve 40% electrification of current light duty municipal fleet.
Policies and Incentives to Consider Electric First Policy Pierce County released in 2016 the electric first policy showing a preference for electric vehicles and equipment when they are viable.
Policies and Incentives to Consider Building Standards Multi-Family EV charging stations for new development Incentivize charging stations for existing developments Ensure EV charging infrastructure is accessible to all income levels. Example: California s Green Building Standards requires new multifamily housing developments with 17 units + to install EV charging infrastructure in at least 3 percent parking spaces.
