Lower Cost Fewer Emissions
Domestic Fuel Better Performance Neighborhood Electric Vehicles
Low-Speed: maximum speed of 25 mph Short Range: typical range below 50 miles All-electric : NEVs do not use gasoline Charging: 120V or 240V Charging Stations
Charging Station Levels
• 120 VAC, 16 A 1 • 8 to 10 hour daily charge*
• 208/240 VAC, 80 A maximum • Most common: 208/240 VAC, 30A (6.6 KW) 2 • 2 to 4 hour daily charge*
• Over 240 VAC • 480 VDC - Fast Charge • Currently no SAE • TEPCO-based? 3 activity on Level 3 DC • 80% in under 30 min*
* Estimated charge times are based on a vehicle utilizing 40 miles of electric only driving between charges. Charging Components
Level 1 •Separate Cord Set •Standardized Connector at Vehicle End •Standard three-prong plug connects with grounded receptacle
Level 2 •Cord set is part of charging station •Standardized Connector at Vehicle End •Hard-wired connection at charging station •GFI included •Multiple Communication Options Variety of Options Electric Transportation 101

Community Planning for Plug-In Electric Vehicles
Land of Sky Overview Meeting August 16, 2010 Presentation Overview
How do we define “community” with respect to PEV planning? Why should we plan for PEVs at that community level? What is our current planning model? The PEV Planning Community
Municipal Governments Businesses . PEV Ownership . PEV Ownership . Regulation . Electric Utilities . Infrastructure . Fleet Operators . Education . PEV Industry
Citizens . PEV Ownership . Formal & Informal Networks Why Plan at the Community Level?
Positive owner experience fosters adoption . Incentives beyond the vehicle benefits . Level-2 charging as a de facto baseline (convenience) . Charging options (range) . Regional consistency (scale up) Electric utility involvement . Need to serve customers . Long range planning
A Model for Community Planning
Origins with Rocky Mountain Institute’s PGR .High-level Goals .National Forum .Kickoff Partnership Local Development of Detailed Model Starting a Community Plan
Getting Ready: Governments and Businesses .Stakeholders .Resources .Official Approval .Workgroups .Implementation Starting a Community Plan
Getting Ready: Specific Steps .Overview meeting for stakeholders .Prepare for permitting & inspection .Set municipal goals and workgroups .Technical forum (inspectors, installers) .Chamber of Commerce meeting? .Community forum? Homebuilders forum? Starting a Community Plan
Getting Ready: Governments and Businesses .Stakeholders Stakeholders . Sustainability .Resources . Fleet/Transportation/Parking .Official Approval . Facilities/Engineering . Purchasing .Work Structure . Executive Management .Implementation . Public Relations/HR . Planning/Land Use . Permitting/Inspections Starting a Community Plan
Getting Ready: Governments and Businesses .Stakeholders Work Structure . Steering Committee .Resources . Standards .Official Approval . Siting and Installation . Vehicles .Work Structure . Incentives .Implementation . Education & Outreach Working Group Lessons
Flexibility is mandatory! Variations in resources, strengths, interests, demo- graphics, etc. require variations in working groups: .Size & Composition .Goals .Timing/Staging .Regional Coordination Working Group Lessons
Document current policies and procedures Take a holistic, long-term approach Remain technology-neutral Focus on good communication Implementing a Community Plan
Steering Committee
Sites & Education & Standards Incentives Installation Vehicles Outreach Standards Working Group
Create appropriate policies and procedures Permitting, installation and inspections Consultation with electric utility and trades Equipment policies: technology-neutral Zoning requirements and compliance .Infrastructure requirements and ratios .Public/private parking, lots/decks, residential Siting & Installation Working Group
Define criteria & plans for charging stations .Functionality .Cost Efficiency .Accessibility .Visibility .Safety Siting & Installation Working Group
Least Amount of Charging Positive Message Public
Fleet Vehicles Employee Vehicles Customer Vehicles Business
Most Common Charging Location & Greatest Amount of Charging Greatest Need for Residential Infrastructure (Long Term) Siting & Installation Working Group

Selection, purchase, operation and maintenance Will vehicles be purchased? No: Blend with Education & Outreach? Yes: Fleet/transportation manager, purchasing manager, department heads, sustainability manager Understand application and life-cycle cost Interface with vendors and dealers Incentives Working Group
Identify & implement incentives for ownership or operation Federal rebates . Vehicles: up to $7,500 for PEVs, up to $2,000 for NEVs . Stations: 50% up to $2,000 residential, up to $50,000 commercial State Options . Vehicle rebates: none in NC currently; up to $5,000 in CA and WA . Reductions in sales taxes and/or registration fees Local options . Reduced permit fees for charging stations . Free/preferential parking . Free public charging Incentives Working Group
Employers . Free employee/customer charging . Vehicle purchase stipends for employees Department of Transportation . Reductions in state/local toll road charges . Access to HOV lanes Lenders . Preferential financing on vehicle loans Education & Outreach Working Group
Disseminating knowledge from the other workgroups Vehicle features & benefits, justification for purchase Appropriate uses Charging station details Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Incentives Training: first responders, installers, mechanics, etc. Implementing a Community Plan
