    Why Electric Vehicles?

    Electric Vehicle Adoption A simple way to have a huge impact on our environment Why Electric Vehicles? Electric Vehicles (EV’s) are our best option to transition away from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles and make a huge impact on our environment (28.9 percent of 2017 greenhouse gas emissions were from transportation in the U.S.) ● No tailpipe emissions from them ● Extremely inexpensive to operate and maintain ● So much fun to drive! Quick and quiet ● Easy to charge ● Range is increasing and price is decreasing BEV vs. PHEV vs. Hybrid ● BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle ○ Just batteries and an electric motor! ● PHEV = Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle ○ Like a BEV and ICE car combined ○ Plugs in ○ Typical electric range of ~55kms ● Hybrid ○ Does not plug in ○ Electric motor only runs at low speeds How Far Do They Go? ● EV’s have range from 70kms to 500kms+ ● Range depends how you drive and the environment you are in ● Popular Canadian EV brands: Company Brand Range Price Price per KM Nissan Leaf 242 $42,000 $174 Nissan Leaf E+ 363 $44,300 $122 Hyundai Kona 415 $45,600 $110 Hyundai Ioniq 249 $37,900 $152 Kia Niro 385 $44,995 $117 Kia Soul 179 $35,900 $201 Tesla Model 3 SR + 386 $56,990 $148 Tesla Model 3 LR 499 $70,490 $141 VW E-Golf 201 $36,300 $181 Chevy Bolt 383 $43,200 $113 How Long to Charge? ● “Level 1” 110v standard outlet “trickle charging” = ~7kms per hour of charging ● “Level 2” 240v “dryer” outlet or hard-wired = 35-45kms per hour ● “Level 3” DC Fast charging = 100-1,600kms per hour What If You Run Out Of Charge?!?! ● You get a ton of warnings on your head-up display ● You can run out of gas too, didn’t you know? ● Electricity is EVERYWHERE, but gas stations aren’t!

The Federal Office of Road Safety was responsible for overall financial and project management of the Study. The NSW EPA Project Team wishes to acknowledge the considerable support given by a number of organisations over the duration of the study. Particular thanks are extended to the following contributors: · the thirteen householders who entrusted their private vehicles to the emissions laboratories for testing; · ALPGA, for providing advice on technical matters, supplying information on the LPG vehicle fleet characteristics and arranging industry support through the coordination of its members; · DASFleet, for providing new-model ‘replacement’ vehicles at nominal rates for use by the private vehicle owners who agreed to let us test their cars; · ELGAS Ltd., for supplying and delivering the test fuel (free of charge) to both laboratories; · NSW Taxi Council and the Victorian Taxi Council for assisting with arrangements to test a variety of taxis from a number of the members; · NRMA Limited, for providing comprehensive insurance coverage for all ‘replacement’ vehicles and for the provision of roadside service coverage

    EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE – Specific for Electric Vehicles

    EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE – Specific for Electric Vehicles Submission from GELCOservices Pty. Ltd. Saturday, 4 August 2018 Submission Background: A need has been identified by the Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERA) industry globally, for a portable and cost effective way to charge a depleted Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV/EV) at roadside throughout various countries in Europe. EV Sales in Europe are by far the highest per capita of any continents in the world and as a result the EV driving and operating experience is quite mature when compared to Australia. The EV population is rapidly growing and with this growth comes the problem of how to offer an effective and highly efficient ERA attendance by a mobile facility to quickly deliver a small charge to then enable the EV to drive to a destination charge station for further charge levels. Currently the only ERA practice is for a tow to home or other location for recharge which may present considerable driver inconvenience. The experience and innovative design of the mobile EV “self-recovery” system as developed in Adelaide now means that as the Australian envisaged uptake of BEV increases the ERA service providers will have access to a proven and fully supported Mobile Electric vehicle Service equipment offer to enhance their customers confidence when driving their EV. A South Australian company – GELCOservices - has launched in conjunction with Club Logistics Services, a recently developed totally portable Electric Vehicle (EV) recharge system designed to enable a stranded EV driver who has a depleted high voltage battery to receive a charge at roadside for a short period of time and thus allowing the EV to “self-recover” from a roadside breakdown flat battery incident.

Any minor engaged in commercial sex is a victim of human trafficking. Trafficking can occur in many locations, including truck stops, restaurants, rest areas, brothels, strip clubs, private homes, etc. Truckers are the eyes and the ears of our nation’s highways. If you see a minor working any of those areas or suspect pimp control, call the National Hotline and report your tip: 1-888-3737-888 (US) 1-800-222-TIPS (Canada) For law enforcement to open an investigation on your tip, they need “actionable information.” Specific tips helpful when reporting to the hotline would include: Descriptions of cars (make, model, color, license plate number, etc.) and people (height, weight, hair color, eye color, age, etc.) Take a picture if you can.
