Task 26 Workshop Versailles 25-26th April 2017 European Commission projects for Green Vehicles charging in EGCI-EGVI Maurizio Maggiore - DG RTD H2 Sustainable Surface Transport PolicyResearch and Innovation WHY ELECTRIC? PolicyResearch and Innovation What is at stake? Electro-mobility is one of the largest opportunities to radically change the transport system & make a quantum leap into the next generation of sustainable mobility • Reduce emissions - sustainable growth, comply with COP21 and health targets • Energy independence (less reliance on fossil energy, reduction of imports) • Competitiveness of EU automotive sector • Competitiveness/innovation of EU supply industry: Millions of EU jobs! PolicyResearch and Innovation PolicyResearch and Innovation Global warming progresses PolicyResearch and Innovation Source: EEA Air Quality in Europe 2013 Oil might get cheaper or get back to higher prices … but it will be dirtier and dirtier 300 250 200 150 $/bbl 100 50 0 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Oil price in $ '2008/bbl Oil price in $/bbl (current prices) PolicyResearch and Source: Prometheus, NTUA (E3MLab) Innovation The press discovered consumption discrepancies long ago PolicyResearch and Innovation Consumers are getting angry: class actions in US, Canada and EU 8/35 PolicyResearch and Innovation THE NEW CHALLENGE IS REALITY! PolicyResearch and Innovation Reality for electrified vehicles? ¾ Real life performance is even more important due to: ¾ Realistic range in real conditions is critical ¾ Battery life expectations vs fast charge ¾ Temperature effects ¾ Auxiliaries energy consumption ¾ all reduce the vehicle performance and its attractiveness ¾ Same flexibilities as for ICEs probably used on EVs to increase advertised range? Never again use NEDC values, WLTP is there ¾ A conventional car might have even bigger discrepancies, but it's enough to fill her up to get to destination PolicyResearch and Innovation Reality for electrified vehicles? (2) • Customers are not used to this type of vehicle and need education and reassurance, information MUST be correct • First hand experience might be disturbing (Top Gear, France TV report) • New vehicle generation has 300km+ range, stop mentioning range anxiety, convenience for long distance travel is the new key parameter: time to drive 1000km a possible comparison key • Charging is the new frontier, fast and easy charging is needed • Alternatively, continuous charging to stop the race to bigger and bigger batteries and allow long range HD transport PolicyResearch and Innovation What customers want? • Technology must improve: • From derivative to clean sheet of paper • Better energy density for batteries • Cheaper components (economy of scale the main driver here) • Give alternatives to customers: • Multiple battery sizes -> Model S, Leaf, Zoe • Pure HEV - EV – PHEV – REV versions of same vehicle BMW, TOYOTA • Mobility solutions BMW, FIAT, PSA • Real fast charging in occasional long trips, not baseline case • PHEV/EREV an important bridging technology but with current battery sizes, EREVs with small specialised engine or FC could make more sense • …. • All this unless electric roads become feasible PolicyResearch and Innovation WHAT ABOUT EU RESEARCH?
