NYC's Unique Electrification Opportunity

NYC’s Unique Electrification Opportunity Electrifying Vehicle Fleets is the Early Stage Opportunity NORTHEAST TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION ALLIANCE

Recent All-Electric Vehicle Events - 1
USDOE arranges $1.4 billion loan to Nissan
convert its TN manufacturing facility to produce
150,000 all-electric Leaf five passenger sedans in 2012
200,000 battery packs in 2012
USDOE awards eTec a $99.8 million contract
install 11,000 charging station in 11 cities to support 4700 Nissan vehicles
Electrification Coalition, supported by 13 major corporations, recommends
concentrate effort in six major regions
create fleets of 100,000 to 150,000 all-electric vehicles

Recent All-Electric Vehicle Events- 2
Nissan completes a national tour
20 MOU’s signed with cities to install charging stations and acquire fleets of Leaf vehicles
56,000 orders received
Hertz announces it will include the Nissan Leaf in its fleets
McKinsey’s study for plaNYC suggests individuals will be early adopters for all-electric vehicles
NRG Energy/Reliant Energy/Nissan program
1,000 all-electric vehicles in three Texas cities
Nissan Leaf range 100 miles but announced second generation Leaf will have increased range
rumored at 189 miles

NYC’s Situation
NYC’s economy is uniquely dependent on fleets of vehicles
Electrifying these fleets will achieve the following:
Establish all-electric vehicle fleets in a few years
Charge the vehicles with a reasonable number of fast charge Level 3 charging stations
Substantially reduce use of petroleum-derived fuels
Reduce City’s operating and maintenance expenses
Demonstrate to the public the advantages of electrification
Establish the foundation for individual electrification efforts
Provide the basis for grid energy storage to supplement the smart grid effort

All-Electric Vehicles - 1
A wide range of all-electric vehicles are now available
Sedans
Nissan - Building a major manufacturing facility in TN
Coda - will import 20,000 per year from China in 2011
GM Volt – in production in 2011
Vans/Delivery Trucks
Smith Electric - Kansas City manufacturing facility
Ford Transit Connect – Assembled in Turkey and Rumania

All-Electric Vehicles - 2
School Buses/Transit Buses, and Port Vehicles
Proterra
Foothill Transit fast charge transit fleet and Level 3 charging stations
Building $60 million manufacturing facility in South Carolina
Drayage and Cargo Container Movers
Balqon
Port of Los Angeles – 20 vehicle fleet

Charging Stations
Choice of charging station, and cost, depends on vehicle application
Personal station – Level 1 (120 volt, 16 amp)
low cost, 8+ hours charging for light duty vehicle
Small public station – Level 2 (240 volt, 32 amp)
higher cost, 2+ hours charging for multiple sedans and medium duty vehicles
Large public station – DC Fast Charge (440 volt, 600-1000 amp)
high cost, 10 to 25 minutes charging for all vehicle types and fleet vehicles

Commercial Considerations
Publicly held battery manufacturers will guarantee battery performance
Grid frequency regulation with vehicle batteries has the potential to realize income for the battery owner
US Post Office estimates 1000 all-electric delivery vehicle will earn $2,304,000 annually in the PJM region
Charging stations provide the opportunity to use vehicle batteries for energy storage
Investors have expressed interest in
owning and leasing school bus batteries
owning and maintaining the Level 3 charging stations
supplying a lease package of station, vehicle, maintenance and service

Foothill Transit CA - Fast Charge Transit Application - 1

DC Fast Charge Charging Station
AeroVironment PosiCharge AV-250
Connected to So. Cal Edison 12 kv high voltage transmission line
Draws three phase 440 volt 1000 amp for 5 to 10 minutes
Proterra’s Energy Transfer Storage Module developed for when high voltage connections are not available
Charges continuously at the rate of 60 kw/hr
Feeds the charging station that is fast charging the bus
FTA has funded the demonstration of the Proterra Energy Storage Transfer Module at Everett Transit in WA.
