iREV Project Goals
• Educate• Role of alternative fuels in emergency
response planning• Energy security benefits of alternative
fuel vehicles and fueling infrastructure
• Conduct pilot projects• Identify 3 to 4 communities • Provide technical assistance on
alternative fuel vehicles and emergency planning
• Develop tailored policy and planning toolkits

iREV Study Products: Case Studies
• Electric Vehicles, Natural Gas, Propane and Biodiesel
Biodiesel vehicles are a large part of NYC’s fleet and were a major asset during the
2012 gasoline shortage
PG&E is using electric vehicles on utility trucks to supply power when lines are down

EVs in Emergency Preparedness
![Page 9: Bethany Whitaker - Vermont Energy Investment Corporation](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030301/58801cce1a28abbc128b60c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Energy Vehicle Technology
• All-electric vehicles • Powered solely by energy stored in vehicle battery
• Plug-in hybrid vehicles• Powered by battery and internal combustion engine• Limited electrical range, then operates as gas or diesel vehicle
• Hybrid electric vehicles• Batteries supplement internal combustion engine
• Electrical systems• Electric Power Take-Off Systems
![Page 10: Bethany Whitaker - Vermont Energy Investment Corporation](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030301/58801cce1a28abbc128b60c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EV Advantages in Emergency Preparedness
• Fleet Diversity• Create options and redundancy• Electricity often restored quickly
• Exporting Power• Mobile source of power• Temporary • Ability to recharge
• Clean and Quiet Operations

Electric Vehicles and Sandy: Lessons Learned
• Power lines get restored relatively quickly• Fuel lines take much longer to restore• EVs helped with ad hoc transportation
• Wished had more EVs • Emergency and community transportation• Temporary access to power
• Allow people to stay in homes/avoid evacuations
