Pathways to EV Adoption Workshop Summary
- 1. WORKSHOP Pathways to Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption Wednesday, May 15, 2019 Moorhead, MN | 1:00-5:15pm
- 2. Welcome! David Ripplinger Director, NDSU Bioenergy & Products Innovation Center
- 3. Joel Haskard CERTs Co-Director UMN Extension RSDP Welcome!
- 4. Status of Electric Vehicles in the Market Robert Moffitt Director, Clean Air American Lung Association in Minnesota
- 5. 5
- 6. 6 Pathways to Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption Source: MN Pollution Control Agency
- 7. 7 U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities
- 9. 9 Makes and Models Available There are currently 26 fully electric or plug-in hybrid models available in the Midwest. There are 15 different brands offering plug-in vehicles available here, 10 foreign, 5 domestic. Prices range from $27,900 (Kia’s Niro PHEV) to 147,500 (BMW i8)
- 10. 10 Dealing with Dealers When shopping for an electric vehicle, your experience with dealerships and sales staff may vary widely Many sales staff have had no formal training on electric vehicles. You may know more about them than they do. Ask people who have bought an EV for advice about dealers, sales people. They may steer you to who and what you are looking for.
- 11. 11 Adoption Trends For many years, the Chevy Volt was the best selling plug-in vehicle in the United States. It is no longer in production, but models are still on showroom floors. Tesla is now the leading EV selling in the US, with the Model 3, Model S and Model X. Other plug-in models selling well include the Toyota Prius Prime, Honda Clarity, Chevy Bolt, and Nissan LEAF.
- 12. 12 Range concerns Concerns over range – the distance a EV can travel on a single charge – remains the single largest obstacle to EV adoption. The average American commute to work is less than 30 miles. Three simple solutions to range anxiety 1. Buy an plug-in hybrid 2. Use your other vehicle 3. Rent or borrow a gas-burner
- 13. 13 Driving an EV in Winter Yes, EV range decreases in cold weather. All vehicles range decreases in cold weather. Many models of EVs have very quick, efficient cabin heating systems. Some also have battery heating systems. Winter EV driving takes some adjustments, but most EV owners soon learn the tips and tricks that work best in their vehicle, for their commute.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE EV READY • Policy: acknowledge EV benefits and support development of charging infrastructure • Regulation: implement development standards and regulations that enable EV use • Administration: create transparent and predictable EV permitting processes • Programs: develop public programs to overcome market barriers • Leadership: demonstrate EV viability in public fleets and facilities
- 51. POLICY • Develop supportive EV language within the comprehensive plan • Example • City of Apple Valley, MN indicated it will encourage EVs by providing sufficient charging stations
- 52. REGULATION • Develop parking standards to create EV ready buildings and commercial facilities • Example • City of St. Louis Park, MN requires all new or reconstructed parking structures/lots with at least 50 parking spaces to install EVSE • Multi-family land uses need 10% Level 1 for resident parking and one Level 2 station for guest parking • Non-residential lots for general public need 1% Level 2 stations; minimum of two spaces
- 53. ADMINISTRATION • Have standardized permitting processes addressing charging station installation so documentation is clear • Example • New York streamlines permitting by using online permitting applications, self-inspections, and publishes installation guidelines
- 54. PROGRAMS • Install public charging stations • Create incentives for private development to install charging stations • Examples • City of Red Wing, MN installed 25kWh DCFC in downtown parking lot • City of Edina, MN provides $25,000/year in Capital Improvement Plan for EV charging • Recently installed its first city-owned Level 2 stations
- 55. LEADERSHIP • Add EVs to city fleets • Examples • City of Minneapolis, MN purchased Chevy Bolts using discounted price that Dept of Administration negotiated • City of Eagan recently added a Mitsubishi Outlander to their fleet
