In November 2019, the International Energy Agency approved another five-year term of the HEV-TCP, for the period March 2020 to February 2025. Although electric vehicles are commercially available and accepted in today’s society, a number of challenges remain for mass adoption and the work of the TCP continues to be very relevant. During the new term, our focus will expand beyond on-road vehicles, to include the electrification of other transport modes and will include future mobility systems, such as shared, connected and automated mobility. The HEV TCP, with a membership of 19 countries, collaborates on shared projects (Tasks) to better understand and address technical and non-technical challenges, and provide guidance to policy makers. The TCP currently manages a total of 18 Tasks. The following new Tasks were initiated in 2019: • Task 42: Scaling Up EV Markets and EV City Casebook • Task 43: Vehicle/Grid Integration • Task 44: Impact of Connectivity and Automation on Electrified Vehicle Usage and Benefits • Task 45: Electrified Roadways (e-Roads) Also in 2019, the TCP closed the following Tasks, for which final reports (where indicated) are available for download on HEV-TCP website at www.ieahev.org: • Task 25: Plug-In Electric Vehicles • Task 26: Wireless Charging • Task 28: Home Grids and V2X Technologies (Final Report and V2X Roadmap) 3 CHAIRPERSON'S MESSAGE HEV TCP Annual Report 2020 At the end of 2019, the global plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) population for the light-vehicle sector was approximately 7.5 million. Global deliveries of PEVs in 2019 passed the 2.2 million mark and represents a share of approximately 2.5% of all light-vehicle sales. This is up from the 2.2% share in 2018, but below anticipated projections. As shown in Figure 1, global deliveries of PEVs did not follow the same trend in growth rate as the previous six years, with only a 9% growth over 2018. Figure 2 shows that this change was more significant in the second half of 2019, where monthly global PEV sales saw a decline compared to the same period in 2018. According to EV-volumes.com, China and the USA experienced the greatest decline in sales, while Europe saw increased growth overall for the sector. Some of the contributing factors include reduced subsidies and more stringent technical regulations in China starting in July 2019, and a decrease of deliveries in the USA compared to the boom in the second half of 2018.1 Figure 1: Global Plug-In Deliveries Source: http://www.ev- volumes.com/country/ total-world-plug-in-vehicle- volumes/ Figure 2: Global Monthly Plug-In Vehicle Sales Source: http://www.ev- volumes.com/country/ total-world-plug-in-vehicle- volumes/ Notwithstanding the departure from the projected growth rate of PEVs sales in 2019, the recent unprecedented global outbreak of the novel coronavirus has paralyzed key parts of the economy in China, Europe and North America. The outlook for global PEV sales for the coming year is extremely difficult to predict in such uncertain times. As a result of the pandemic, factories across the globe have experienced closures or retooling to manufacture essential medical equipment. Mandated quarantines and self-distancing requirements means that consumers are not buying cars. Although oil prices are at an all-time low, people 1 http://www.ev-volumes.com/ have nowhere to go. But if oil prices stay low, some consumers may purchase an country/total-world-plug-in- internal combustion engine vehicle instead of paying a premium for a PEV. It is vehicle-volumes/ impossible to know how long the crisis will last, to what extent the industry will 4 CHAIRPERSON'S MESSAGE HEV TCP Annual Report 2020 be impacted, or how long the economy will take to recover. The electrification of transportation is essential to meet a clear commitment to become carbon neutral by 2050, it may just take a little longer to get back on the path. The spring meeting of the HEV TCP Executive Committee (ExCo) was schedule to take place on Jeju Island, South Korea at the end of April 2020. In an abundance of caution, the meeting was cancelled early. I would like to thank South Korea for offering to host the meeting and for all the efforts made to welcome us. We look forward to working with South Korea to host a meeting at some time in the future. The next face-to-face meeting of the HEV TCP ExCo will be held in Dundee, Scotland, in November 2020. At this meeting, we will formally welcome China as the newest member of the TCP, as of January 2020. China is a recognized global leader in the adoption of EVs, and is a great addition to the TCP. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 2019 saw changes to two key positions in the TCP. Firstly, David Howell (USA) stepped down from the position of Deputy Chair of the ExCo after many years and Sonja Munnix (the Netherlands) was elected as a new Deputy Chair late in 2019. Secondly, effective January 2020, the responsibility of Operating Agent for Task 1 on Information Exchange has transitioned from VDI/VDE-IT (Germany) to Urban Foresight (United Kingdom). As the Chairperson for the HEV TCP, I would like to recognize the excellent support provided by Dr. James Miller (Argonne National Laboratory) as the HEV TCP Secretary, and the generous contribution from the US Department of Energy for financing the position of the Secretary. I would like to express my sincere thanks to both David Howell (USA) and Ock Taeck Lim (South Korea) for their support as Deputy Chairs, as well as to Gereon Meyer, Jadranka Dokic, and Heike Jürgens from VDI/VDE-IT for their excellent work with Task 1 over the past five years.

    V2G Injector: Whispering to Cars and Charging Units Through the Power-Line

    V2G Injector: Whispering to cars and charging units through the Power-Line Sébastien Dudek, Jean-Christophe Delaunay and Vincent Fargues [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Synacktiv Abstract. Since vehicles became connected to a bus called CAN (Con- troller Area Network), many “garage” hackers got interested in investi- gating the different controllers, known as ECUs (Engine Control Units), and accessible via the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port. Among those different controllers, some of them are accessible via Wi-Fi, others via GPRS, 3G and 4G mobile networks, that could be attacked during a radio interception attack [19]. Moreover, another little-known vector of attack will appear with the deployment of V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) systems that communicate via power lines support. Nevertheless, no public tool exists to interface with these systems, but also to analyse and to inject V2G traffic. That is why we have developed a tool called V2G Injector to attack these systems. In this article, we will briefly introduce the V2G concept and its similari- ties with domestic Power-Line Communication systems. Then, we will present the techniques we use in our tool that aim to interface with the system, monitor and inject traffic. We will also present a new specification vulnerability in the communication medium we have been able to exploit to intrude the V2G network. To finish, we will talk about issues we have found during our tests on real equipment, and mitigations we can encounter, or apply, in some contexts as well as possible bypasses. 1 Introduction: rise of V2G Due to its environmental friendliness, Electric Vehicle (EV) is gaining popularity in U.S.A, Japan, China and some countries in Europe.

  • EV Connector Types

    EV Connector Types

    Accessed on July 21, 2019. https://www.zap-map.com/charge-points/connectors-speeds/ EV connector types As mentioned in the overview, there are three main types of EV charging – rapid, fast, and slow. These represent the power outputs, and therefore charging speeds, available to charge an EV. Note that power is measured in kilowatts (kW). Each charger type has an associated set of connectors which are designed for low or high power use, and for either AC or DC charging. The following sections offer a detailed description of the three main charge point types and the different connectors available. Rapid chargers 50kW DC charging on one of two connector types 43kW AC charging on one connector type 120kW DC charging on Tesla Supercharger network All rapid units have tethered cables Rapid chargers are the fastest way to charge an EV, often found in motorway services or in locations close to main roads. Rapid devices supply high power direct or alternating current – DC or AC – to recharge a car to 80% in 20-40 minutes. In most cases, the charging units power down when the battery is around 80% full to protect the battery and extend its life. All rapid devices have the charging cable tethered to the unit. Rapid charging can only be used on vehicles with rapid-charging capability. Given the easily recognisable connector profiles – see images below – the specification for your model is easy to check from the vehicle manual or inspecting the on-board inlet. Non-Tesla rapid DC chargers provide power at 50 kW (125A), use either the CHAdeMO or CCS charging standards, and are indicated by purple icons on Zap-Map.

By way of comparison, the S&P 500 was up approximately 0.6% while the Russell 2000 was up approximately 0.7%. Year-to-date the fund is down approximately 16.2% while the S&P 500 is up approximately 2.6% and the Russell 2000 is up approximately 7.7%. Since inception on June 1, 2011 the fund is up approximately 67.4% net while the S&P 500 is up approximately 134.7% and the Russell 2000 is up approximately 113.7%. Since inception the fund has compounded at approximately 7.6% net annually vs 12.8% for the S&P 500 and 11.3% for the Russell 2000. (The S&P and Russell performances are based on their “Total Returns” indices which include reinvested dividends.) As always, investors will receive the fund’s exact performance figures from its outside administrator within a week or two; meanwhile I continue to waive the annual management fee until the entire fund regains its high- water mark. The fund was absolutely massacred this month, and it was primarily due to our large short position in Tesla, to which I added on each new piece of negative news, much of which was indicative of the kind of outright fraud (see below) that would immediately send a “normal stock” into a death spiral, and yet for most of the month Tesla’s stock kept levitating.

Abstract Recent reports of utility providers have shown that under certain circumstances the integration of renewable energy sources might cause damaging Transient Over-Voltages (TOV) in the power grid. With the rising availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in residential neighborhoods, the potential of EV batteries for TOV reduction is being examined. This report analyses the current state-of-the-art EV charger technology with respect to utilized charging technologies and their capabilities to mitigate over- voltages. Furthermore, power ratings of charging systems, including maximum power influx control and communication strategies, are analyzed. Corresponding time constraints, as well as system response times are also determined.

Williamson *,† Electric Mobility and Transportation Innovation (E-MOTION) Laboratory, Smart Transportation Electrification and Energy Research (STEER) Group, Department of Electrical, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Computer and Software Engineering, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (D.R.); [email protected] (S.S.W.) † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 27 August 2019; Accepted: 25 September 2019; Published: 29 September 2019 Abstract: With the growing fleet of a new generation electric vehicles (EVs), it is essential to develop an adequate high power charging infrastructure that can mimic conventional gasoline fuel stations. Therefore, much research attention must be focused on the development of off-board DC fast chargers which can quickly replenish the charge in an EV battery. However, use of the service transformer in the existing fast charging architecture adds to the system cost, size and complicates the installation process while directly connected to medium-voltage (MV) line. With continual improvements in power electronics and magnetics, solid state transformer (SST) technology can be adopted to enhance power density and efficiency of the system. This paper aims to review the current state of the art architectures and challenges of fast charging infrastructure using SST technology while directly connected to the MV line. Finally, this paper discusses technical considerations, challenges and introduces future research possibilities.
