  • 1 Electrifying Medium-Duty Vehicles in Minnesota Capstone Paper In
    Electrifying Medium-Duty Vehicles in Minnesota Capstone Paper In Partial Fulfillment of the Master's Degree Requirements The Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs The University of Minnesota Christov Churchward, Jacob Herbers, Ben Picone, Drew Turro Client: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Capstone Instructor: Fred Rose Date of Oral Presentation: 5/6/2019 Approval Date of Final Paper: 1 Executive Summary State of the Market Medium-duty electric vehicles (MDEVs) are still in the early stages of adoption across the U.S. Cost- parity on the initial purchase price of these vehicles relative to their conventional counterparts is not expected until the mid-2020s. A lack of organizational experience operating and maintaining EVs and a dearth of charging infrastructure present challenges to the early deployment of all types of EVs. Furthermore, most test cases for MDEVs are in California, whose warmer climate makes it difficult to draw accurate operational comparisons to Minnesota. Despite this, manufacturers are entering the market and providing a greater variety of vehicle choices. The number of class three through six (5-13 tons) electric vehicles on the market increased by a factor of six from 2013 to 2018, going from four to 24. Utilities, recognizing customer demand for EVs, are developing specialized programs and electricity rates for their customers to keep the costs of EV charging low. Furthermore, MDEVs operate with half the fuel cost per mile versus a comparable diesel vehicle. For fleet owners able and willing to take on the
