An Initiative of the Pacific Coast Collaborative
Pacific Coast Collaborative West Coast Electric Fleets Initiative 5
Pacific Coast Collaborative West Coast Electric Fleets Initiative West Coast Electric Fleets implements the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) commitment in the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy 6
Pacific Coast Collaborative West Coast Electric Fleets Initiative Toolkit Provides assistance to fleet managers to facilitate ZEV purchases and leases Pledge Align the partnership organizations around a common goal Outreach Help fleets understand where ZEVs are a good fit GOAL: 10% ZEV in New Fleet Purchases 7
Pacific Coast Collaborative West Coast Electric Fleets Initiative West Coast Electric Fleets Website 8
Pacific Coast Collaborative West Coast Electric Fleets Initiative ~20 Partner Fleets so far 9
Pacific Coast Collaborative West Coast Electric Fleets Initiative Partner benefits include: Access an online Toolkit that can help you assess how ZEVs can best meet your operational needs and save you money Receive technical assistance from Clean Cities Coalitions in California, Oregon, and Washington and the Fraser Basin Council in British Columbia that will help you understand ZEV procurement opportunities Attend events where you can test drive electric vehicles and learn more about incorporating them into your fleet Be recognized for your leadership on the West Coast Electric Fleets website, through press releases, and at West Coast Electric Fleets events. Seize opportunities to be profiled in case studies and contribute to lessons learned Access a peer-to-peer network of fleet managers and owners to share challenges, needs, lessons, and resources 10

CITY OF SEATTLE EVBARRIERS AND SOLUTIONS Andrea Pratt, Green Fleet Program Manager City of Seattle FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION
CITY OF SEATTLEFLEET FLEET OPERATIONS 87 ELECTRIC VEHICLES EVSE INFRASTRUCTURE 4,000 vehicles maintained 11 garages & 5 warehouses All city departments: Police, Fire, Utilities, Parks, SDOT, etc. 26 Leafs in motor pool 32 Leafs in parking enforcement + 8 Firefly s 21 Leafs in various department operations CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION 52 L2 EVSE installed over 9 locations in 2010 with ARRA grant funds 28 L2 EVSE installed after 2011 using various funding sources Large EVSE expansion project underway (35 L2 EVSE + DCFC) 13

VEHICLE COST Barriers EVs have higher upfront costs Government is not eligible for federal tax credit Operating and maintenance budget is separate from capital budget Solutions Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis Leasing options are available through Nissan (only). State incentives apply. TCO can be positive with out incentives. Encourage finance leadership to take a big picture approach to fleet costs and be flexible with using capital money upfront to save on O&M down the road.

INFRASTRUCTURE Barriers High upgrade costs including new panels and transformers for some installations Costs are hard to predict and vary greatly depending on site specific factors Who owns/maintains Facilities? Fleets? End user? Solutions View as a capital investment to facility cost not tied to one vehicle Identify overall cost savings Think outside the box on funding sources and creative alternatives to a constrained grid Approach EVSE infrastructure as a modern fuel station CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION 17
INFRASTRUCTURE: A CAPITAL INVESTMENT Increasing the electrical capacity in a building is a capital improvement that increases asset value Electric infrastructure has a life span of 50-100 years and can be used over several vehicle life cycles Can be used on multiple vehicles in one day in staggered shifts Constructing a self-contained, closed loop fuel station in your building Upgrades can address overall facility electrical needs for all tenants in building CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION 18
INFRASTRUCTURE: COST BENEFITS EVs reduce fleet operating and maintenance budgets Electricity rates are low and stable compared to volatile fuel prices Maintenance on EVs is much less than gas Less maintenance and predictable low fuel costs reduce and smooth operating budgets EV Infrastructure requires minimal (or no) fuel administration Once initial investment is made, there are no on-going logistics required to fuel vehicles No permits, inspections, tank cleanings, fuel orders, deliveries, etc. Emergency Operations/Energy Independence In an emergency, electricity could still be available to power vehicles (on or off the grid). Exportable power would be a huge asset Reduces dependence of foreign oil imports CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION 19
INFRASTRUCTURE: CREATIVE FINANCING Capital project funds Scope EVSE into new building design or remodels Emergency preparedness funds Grant funds Government incentives and programs Private financing tied to increased fuel efficiency Adopt-A-Watt crowd funding Utility assistance Decentralize EV deployment Corporate donations (Nissan is donating 2 DCFC to Seattle) CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION 20
INFRASTRUCTURE: FINAL THOUGHTS EV Infrastructure is a strategic long term investment. It provides a closed-loop, renewable * fuel station over several decades that will reduce overall fleet operating costs, increase the ability to operate in an emergency and achieve GHG reduction targets. Service upgrades will raise facility asset value and can also address overall electricity demands of other tenants in the building. *Varies regionally with type of power generation CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION 21

Fleet Electrification Scott Briasco, P.E. West Coast Electric Fleet Webinar August 6, 2015
LADWP Background The largest municipal utility in the nation Established over 100 years ago Safe, reliable, and affordable water and power provided to the City s 4.1 million residents and businesses Area served is 465 square miles Environmental leadership is a cornerstone for LADWP Actively involved in Electric Transportation activities for over 20 years 1 st utility to establish an PEV charging rate in the early 1990s In the mid to late 1990s, facilitated the installation of over 400 public chargers Demonstrated over 350 PEVs of various types in fleet applications
Why Plug-In EVs For L.A. Reduce dependence on petroleum Customer Efficiency: PEV fuel cost equals about $1/gallon* Environmental: PEVs reduce GHG emissions and improve local air quality Better use of utility assets PEVs will help grow green economy *( Assumes $12.5 /kwh, PEV typ. mileage of 3.3 mi./kwh and 26.4 mi./gal car)
City of Los Angeles Targets: In the near-term, ensure that 50% of the City s light-duty vehicle purchases are EVs, and analyze conversion of other vehicle types to EVs In the long-term, ensure that the 80% of the City s lightduty vehicle purchases are EVs by 2025 and 100% by 2035 Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Fleet Strategy: 100% of all light-duty vehicle purchases are PEVs going forward Mixture of BEVs and PHEVs in the near-term with increasing amounts of BEVs as range improves and infrastructure is deployed.

LADWP s Current PEV Infrastructure 1. Fleet Chargers 123 Level 2 chargers at 4 facilities for fleet vehicles only Both pedestal and wall mount units 2. Workplace Chargers 51 Level 2 chargers at Main Office Building for employee use only 3. Public Chargers 55 Level 2 chargers at city-owned properties 4. DC Fast Chargers 13 installed (9 public) with 3 more under construction
LADWP s Current PEV Infrastructure
Issues To Consider When Establishing Fleet Charging Number and Type of EVSEs - Level 1, 2 or DC fast charging - Current and future needs - Analysis of expected charge times Convenience and Location - Availability of power - Proximity to utility service - Contact your utility Installation Costs - Installation costs can vary considerably - Trenching and adding electrical service and/or panels add the most cost - Get cost estimates and evaluate options - Consider applying for incentives, grants, and rebates
