Recent All-Electric Vehicle Events - 1

• USDOE arranges $1.4 billion loan to Nissan– convert its TN manufacturing facility to produce

• 150,000 all-electric Leaf five passenger sedans in 2012 • 200,000 battery packs in 2012

• USDOE awards eTec a $99.8 million contract– install 11,000 charging station in 11 cities to

support 4700 Nissan vehicles• Electrification Coalition, supported by 13

major corporations, recommends– concentrate effort in six major regions– create fleets of 100,000 to 150,000 all-electric

vehicles

Recent All-Electric Vehicle Events- 2

• Nissan completes a national tour – 20 MOU’s signed with cities to install charging stations and

acquire fleets of Leaf vehicles– 56,000 orders received

• Hertz announces it will include the Nissan Leaf in its fleets

• McKinsey’s study for plaNYC suggests individuals will be early adopters for all-electric vehicles

• NRG Energy/Reliant Energy/Nissan program – 1,000 all-electric vehicles in three Texas cities

• Nissan Leaf range 100 miles but announced second generation Leaf will have increased range– rumored at 189 miles

NYC’s Situation

• NYC’s economy is uniquely dependent on fleets of vehicles

• Electrifying these fleets will achieve the following:– Establish all-electric vehicle fleets in a few years– Charge the vehicles with a reasonable number of fast

charge Level 3 charging stations – Substantially reduce use of petroleum-derived fuels– Reduce City’s operating and maintenance expenses– Demonstrate to the public the advantages of electrification– Establish the foundation for individual electrification efforts – Provide the basis for grid energy storage to supplement the

smart grid effort

All-Electric Vehicles - 1• A wide range of all-electric vehicles

are now available

• Sedans– Nissan - Building a major

manufacturing facility in TN– Coda - will import 20,000 per

year from China in 2011– GM Volt – in production in 2011

• Vans/Delivery Trucks – Smith Electric - Kansas City

manufacturing facility– Ford Transit Connect –

Assembled in Turkey and Rumania

031510 6

All-Electric Vehicles - 2

• School Buses/Transit Buses, and Port Vehicles – Proterra

• Foothill Transit fast charge transit fleet and Level 3 charging stations

• Building $60 million manufacturing facility in South Carolina

• Drayage and Cargo Container Movers– Balqon

• Port of Los Angeles – 20 vehicle fleet

031510 7

Charging Stations

• Choice of charging station, and cost, depends on vehicle application– Personal station – Level 1 (120 volt, 16 amp)

• low cost, 8+ hours charging for light duty vehicle

– Small public station – Level 2 (240 volt, 32 amp)• higher cost, 2+ hours charging for multiple sedans and

medium duty vehicles

– Large public station – DC Fast Charge (440 volt, 600-1000 amp)

• high cost, 10 to 25 minutes charging for all vehicle types and fleet vehicles

031510 8

Commercial Considerations

• Publicly held battery manufacturers will guarantee battery performance

• Grid frequency regulation with vehicle batteries has the potential to realize income for the battery owner– US Post Office estimates 1000 all-electric delivery vehicle

will earn $2,304,000 annually in the PJM region

• Charging stations provide the opportunity to use vehicle batteries for energy storage

• Investors have expressed interest in – owning and leasing school bus batteries– owning and maintaining the Level 3 charging stations– supplying a lease package of station, vehicle, maintenance

and service

Foothill Transit CA - Fast Charge Transit Application - 1

031510 10

Foothill Transit CA - Fast Charge Transit Application - 2

• DC Fast Charge Charging Station– AeroVironment PosiCharge AV-250– Connected to So. Cal Edison 12 kv high voltage

transmission line– Draws three phase 440 volt 1000 amp for 5 to 10 minutes

• Proterra’s Energy Transfer Storage Module developed for when high voltage connections are not available – Charges continuously at the rate of 60 kw/hr– Feeds the charging station that is fast charging the bus– FTA has funded the demonstration of the Proterra Energy

Storage Transfer Module at Everett Transit in WA.
