Promoting Clean Vehicles in a Sustainable South Bay
Local Use Vehicles and other Electric Vehicles
June 2011
Criteria Pollutants Rising oil prices Climate Action Planning & green house gas
emission reductions Existing SB 375 strategies do not suit South
Bay conditions because it is mature, dense & transit poor
Lacking consumer awareness of Clean Vehicle options
Why This is Important
Testing electric Local Use Vehicles (LUVs) Seeking opportunities to test the new longer range
EVs and fuel cell vehicles coming to market Assisting cities to convert their fleets to EVs if
possible Researching market acceptance and technologies
to assist in siting electric charging stations Developing guidelines for cities to consider in
designing Complete Streets
SBCCOG Activities
The LUV Demonstration Program is testing electric Local Use Vehicles (LUVs)
7 small, short range & low speed cars for taking ‘local’ trips Driven by local residents for 3-6 months at a time Demonstrating use on local streets
Previously only in closed campuses
Designed to: Help overcome consumer resistance to unfamiliar
technologies Inform public policy makers about the practical barriers to
wide spread adoption of Local Use Vehicles

Matching Vehicle Types to Trip Types
Enthusiastic participants Their original gas guzzlers sit unused
Sometimes so long they have to get a jump start when they try to use their old cars
Several of our drivers are interested in purchasing a LUV to replace one of their vehicles
Travel time is not an issue for local trips
Consumer Acceptance
Benefits: Emission Reduction
Household Vehicle Emissions Reductions for Households
With One LUV CarEmissions Type AverageTOG 33% CO 30%NOX 29% PM10 28% SOX 26% CO2 23% Gasoline consumption gal 27%
Demonstrates potential emissions reductions from LUVs Such as replacing 60% of the 243,800 second and
third vehicles per household in the South Bay with LUVs
The equivalent CO2 reductions as planting over 600,000 trees per year Reduce gas consumption by over 17 million gallons each year
Benefits: Future Emission Reductions
Low Speed Vehicles are a valuable and cost effective approach to GHG reduction
Robust Complete Streets planning can encourage Walking, Biking, and Low Speed EV use Class II lanes on select arterials should be built
wide enough to accommodate bikes and NEVs

The New Wave of Plug-in Electric Vehicles
Over next three years 15 – 22 models will be introduced
South Bay is an early target market
Cumulative Plug-in Vehicles in SCE Service Area (in thousands)
Plug-in Electric Vehicle Benefits
16
Low cost of fuel
Electricity is 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost of gasoline, on a per mile basis
Reduced green-house gas emissions: Low maintenance
Federal and state financial incentives

NEV pickups are excellent for city fleets Customizable for specific uses Cost effective GHG reductions from city fleets
NEVs for City Fleets
Current Miles EV Sale 30+ mile range Priced at $12,900 –
$14,900 depending on volume
EV Charging - EVSE
Most charging will occur at home
Installing chargers in multifamily buildings is challenging
Additional public and workplace chargers will be needed
SBCCOG/SBESC is clearinghouse – Contact us if you have any questions about EVs or Charging Infrastructure
