Goals in Belmont Climate Action Plan (2009): Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions 80% by 2050 75% Belmont Citizens voted for it Green Community Designation (2014): Reduce emissions 20% in 5 years Achieved to-date (2007 to 2014): 5% CO2 reduction Not enough!!!
Vehicles cause much of Belmont s CO2 emissions Fuel Oil All Belmont Fuel Oil Residential Vehicles Electricity Vehicles Electricity Natural Gas Natural Gas - more than 1/3 of all emissions - almost half of all residential emissions
Why Drive Electric? Environmental Benefits
Comparison of Emissions for different Cars or Solar
Characteristics of Belmont vehicles Belmont MA Average miles traveled: 23.2 mi/day 33 mi/day Average fuel efficiency: 18 mpg 17 mpg
Best ways to reduce CO2 in your household EV Solar 1. 3. 2. Heating 1. Replace your car with an EV (-3.2 t CO2) 2. Switch from Gas to Heatpump (-3 t CO2) 3. Solar (-2 t CO2)
EV Range All EVs have enough range for daily driving (typ. 70-110 mi) PHEV s go electric for daily drive and gas for longer trips High-end EV s can go 200+ mi Range anxiety is not a big concern
Switching from a Car (29 mpg) to an EV (savings 2.2 t CO 2 ) is equivalent to: Driving 6400 fewer miles per year Consuming 220 fewer gallons of gasoline 90% of typical household electricity use Carbon capture of 3 acres of trees Sources: EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, U.S. Energy Information Administration
EVs have lower GHG Emissions and Cost Less Chevy Suburban Toyota 4Runner Ford Mustang 5.0 BMW 528 Mercedes E Honda Fit Ford Fiesta Smart 4-2 Focus EV Smart 4-2 EV Leaf Chevy Spark EV Chevy Volt Prius C C-Max Prius PHEV Chevy Bolt Tesla 3 BMW i3 BMW 320 Subaru VW Passat RAV4 EV Accord Hybrid Lexus RX450h Tesla S Source: MIT - www.carboncounter.com
Other Environmental Benefits No tailpipe emissions Improved local air quality Reduced noise pollution
Big Picture Considerations More Renewables Energy on the Grid >>> Greener EVs Overnight charging >>> Cheaper AND Greener Off-peak power is cheaper (15% Belmont Light discount) Electricity at night comes from more renewable sources (wind, hydro) EVs and Renewable Energy >>> A Virtuous Cycle EV batteries can be charged when renewable energy is available Future smart grids can utilize EV-batteries as part of a carbon-free energy cycle
