  • Electric Vehicle Pre-Infrastructure Planning a Discussion of Social, Economic, and Technological Readiness of Prince Edward Island
    University of Prince Edward Island Electric Vehicle Pre-Infrastructure Planning A Discussion of Social, Economic, and Technological Readiness of Prince Edward Island Georgina Vardy 10/22/2012 A localized study, focused on Prince Edward Island, Canada, compiled to assist with determining social, economic and technological readiness for electric vehicles and the related infrastructure. The study used both a Christensen based disruptive technology framework approach and traditional marketing techniques to determine social and economic readiness. Residents showed an interest and aptitude for the social changes required however the financial affordability of the electric vehicles for residents was limited without nationally available, but locally deficient, incentives. A technology scan determined that electric vehicle battery chemical content and design are determining factors in effectively satisfying social needs and acceptance. The next stage includes localized marketing development for this unique location, vehicles sales and infrastructure.

First Name: Jim Last Name: Stack Email Address: [email protected] Affiliation: Subject: ZEV vehicles Comment: The only true ZEV vehicles are pure electric that chanrge on renewables Today 96% of the hydrogen is made from fossil fuels. This can be improved on but will take a long time. Today we already have very good Electric Vehicles liek the RAV4 with NiMH batteries that have lasted over 100,000 miles.

I own two other vehicles FORD FOCUS and FORD Crown Vic. I my OKA NEV could go 35 MPH I would drive it at least twice as much as I currently do, and I would feel much safer doing so. 25 MPH top speed for NEV seriously limits its use and practicality for every day commuting.

    LISA D. NORDSTROM Lead Counsel [email protected] November 1, 2019 Public Utility Commission of Oregon Filing Center 201 High Street SE, Suite 100 P.O. Box 1088 Salem, Oregon 97301 RE: UM ___ – Idaho Power Company’s Application for Transportation Electrification Plan Attention Filing Center: Pursuant to OAR 860-087-0020, Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power” or “Company”) submits the enclosed Transportation Electrification Plan (“TE Plan”) for acceptance by the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (“Commission”). Idaho Power’s TE Plan contains the Company’s long-term strategy to accelerate TE in its Oregon service area. Given the current state of the TE market in Idaho Power’s Oregon service area, the Company’s TE Plan is largely focused on improving the visibility and awareness of electric vehicles (“EV”). Through education and awareness, Idaho Power aims to accelerate TE by contributing to increased adoption of EVs, and access to electricity as a form of transportation fuel. Idaho Power respectfully requests that the Commission issue an order finding that the Company’s TE Plan meets the requirements of OAR 860-087-0020. The Company also requests that the Commission waive (per OAR 860-087-0001) OAR 860-087-0020(2)(d), which requires Idaho Power to present its TE Plan at a public meeting, if the Commission finds that presentation of the Company’s modest TE Plan, reflecting the limited EV penetration in its Oregon service area, would not materially benefit the Commission. It is respectfully requested that all formal data requests to the Company regarding this filing be addressed to the following: By email (preferred): [email protected] By regular mail: Lisa Nordstrom Lead Counsel Idaho Power Company 1221 W.

  • Norway's Efforts to Electrify Transportation
    Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation Nathan Lemphers Environmental Governance Lab Working Paper 2019-2 Rolling the snowball: Norway’s efforts to electrify transportation EGL Working Paper 2019-2 September 2019 Nathan Lemphers, Research Associate Environmental Governance Lab Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy University of Toronto [email protected] Norway’s policies to encourage electric vehicle (EV) adoption have been highly successful. In 2017, 39 per cent of all new car sales in Norway were all-electric or hybrid, making it the world’s most advanced market for electric vehicles (IEA 2018). This high rate of EV ownership is the result of 30 years of EV policies, Norway’s particular political economy, and significant improvements in EV and battery technology. This paper argues that Norway’s sustained EV policy interventions are not only starting to decarbonize personal transportation but also spurring innovative electrification efforts in other sectors such as maritime transport and short- haul aviation. To explain this pattern of scaling, the paper employs Bernstein and Hoffmann’s (2018) framework on policy pathways towards decarbonization. It finds political causal mechanisms of capacity building and normalization helped create a welcoming domestic environment to realize early uptake and scaling of electric vehicles, and subsequently fostered secondary scaling in other modes of transportation. The initial scaling was facilitated by Norway’s unique political economy. Ironically, Norway’s climate leadership is, in part, because of its desire to sustain oil and gas development. This desire steered the emission mitigation focus towards sectors of the economy that are less contentious and lack opposing incumbents.
