  • One Million Electric Vehicles by 2015
    One Million Electric Vehicles By 2015 February 2011 Status Report 1 Executive Summary President Obama’s goal of putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 represents a key milestone toward dramatically reducing dependence on oil and ensuring that America leads in the growing electric vehicle manufacturing industry. Although the goal is ambitious, key steps already taken and further steps proposed indicate the goal is achievable. Indeed, leading vehicle manufacturers already have plans for cumulative U.S. production capacity of more than 1.2 million electric vehicles by 2015, according to public announcements and news reports. While it appears that the goal is within reach in terms of production capacity, initial costs and lack of familiarity with the technology could be barriers. For that reason, President Obama has proposed steps to accelerate America’s leadership in electric vehicle deployment, including improvements to existing consumer tax credits, programs to help cities prepare for growing demand for electric vehicles and strong support for research and development. Introduction In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Obama called for putting one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015 – affirming and highlighting a goal aimed at building U.S. leadership in technologies that reduce our dependence on oil.1 Electric vehicles (“EVs”) – a term that includes plug-in hybrids, extended range electric vehicles and all- electric vehicles -- represent a key pathway for reducing petroleum dependence, enhancing environmental stewardship and promoting transportation sustainability, while creating high quality jobs and economic growth. To achieve these benefits and reach the goal, President Obama has proposed a new effort that supports advanced technology vehicle adoption through improvements to tax credits in current law, investments in R&D and competitive “With more research and incentives, programs to encourage communities to invest we can break our dependence on oil in infrastructure supporting these vehicles.

  • Electric Truck at Redwood National & State Parks
    breathe cleaner air Electric Trams: Alternative Fuel Vehicles At Cape Cod National Seashore National Park Service Expands Alternative Fuels Fleet If you’re among the millions visiting national parks in the U.S. during the next few years, you’ll be breathing a little easier because a growing number of vehicles serving the parks will not be powered by gasoline or diesel fuel. The national parks are adding more vehicles using alternative fuels as part of a federal program to reduce vehicle pollution in those treasured environments. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and the National Park Service (NPS). The objective is to demonstrate how using alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) can improve the environment at the parks, while allowing the vehicles to perform efficiently and cost-effectively. About the Electric Trams Two of the “cleaner air” vehicles at the Cape Cod National Seashoreelectric tram buseshad their engines upgraded and new charging equipment installed. The modified buses originally were “hybrid” vehicles, built to operate on propane and electric power. The engines were converted to all-electric power but they could not keep the pace needed to transport visitors. Now the remodeled buses can more efficiently transport up to 60 passengers at a time from an inland parking lot to Coast Guard Beach. Before the upgrades, the buses had to be taken out of service every few hours for recharging. These remodeled buses rejoin the all-electric fleet at Cape Cod National Seashore, where other all-electric trams have been transporting visitors since1998.

Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
