•Electrification of transport seems inevitable
•(E.g. “20% hybridisation of U.S. market by 2015” - Deutsche Bank)
•Solutions developing for range extension (BEV) :
•Battery exchange model
•Fast Charging

10. Battery Exchange / Fast Charging
 Battery Exchange
• Battery charged at home and /or at street / car park
• If long journey requires new charge, customer has battery replaced at
Replacement Station
• I.T. solution allows driver to know status of battery, nearest charge
points, battery replacement stations etc.
 Fast Charging
• Vehicle may have two charging connections
• Standard single phase or 3 phase for overnight charging / opportunity
charging while parked during day
• 3 phase (or DC) for fast charging at specialised locations
• 30 mins to 1 hour quick charge currently available
• Target by manufacturers is 5 to 10 mins but technical issues remain

12. Sustainable Transport – ESB Initiatives
 Bio Fuels
• Converting 100 ESB fleet
vehicles to Bio fuels (B20,
B30, B50, B100)
• Joint study with University of
Limerick to identify issues
and develop technical
solutions (launched Sept 08)
• Follow-on project with UL on
2nd generation bio-fuels
• Visible branding and
promotion

13. Sustainable Transport – ESB Initiatives
 Electric vehicles for ESB Fleet
• First battery electric vans delivered;
plug-in Hybrid vans on order
• Integrating with ESB fleet
• Visible branding and promotion as
electric vehicles
 Electric cars for demonstration and
promotion
• Full-size battery electric cars
(people carriers)
• Offers to participate in European
field trials of series-production
battery electric cars
• Plan to acquire plug-in hybrids

14. ESB Project Work
 Ongoing visits to battery and car manufacturers
 Visits to other utilities / countries; e.g. EDF, EDP,
Israel, Denmark, to understand their plans/models
 Studying load, emissions, and economic impacts of
EVs on electricity generation
 Studying impact on electricity networks; including
arrangements for charging infrastructure
 Working with inter-dept. / agency working group
evaluating the incentives to support EV penetration –
Gov. target 10% by 2020

18. Conclusions
 The penetration of EVs is critical to reducing Ireland's CO2
emissions and dependence on oil.
 ESB is very supportive of the Government's 10% EV target and is
committed to ensuring that it will do whatever it can to help meet this
target.
 Strong government support will be needed to incentivise EVs
 Delivering an appropriate charging network will be key to EV
penetration. It is also of critical importance that there is open access
for all car manufacturers and electricity suppliers
 EVs will be able to avail of cheap electricity at night and have the
potential to provide the electricity system with electricity during
periods of peak demand.
 Standardisation is a key issue for the industry.
 Significant opportunities for Irish Enterprise and 3rd level institutions
in EV Supply Chain
