Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Baltimore, MD HTUF Conf
Copyright CALSTART 2011 14
15. Draft Key Findings to Date
Vehicle Cost/Price are Top Issues/Barriers
- Production/battery costs; need for incentives
- 50% (or greater) funding of incremental cost needed
- Costs do show decline over time
Vehicle Quality/Support Needs to Improve
Validation of Performance and Business Case are
Key Gaps
Infrastructure is a Surprise to Fleets and Important
Next Tier Issue
Better Guidance on Vehicle Placement, Use
Needed
Copyright CALSTART 2011 15
16. Costs
• Vehicle cost is key component of
business case and purchase decision
– Other key components of business case are
vehicle utilization, battery replacement,
infrastructure cost
– Vehicle cost is projected to decrease over
next 5 – 10 years; cost decrease alone may
not be fully sufficient to make business case

18. Barriers Response Analysis
1. Incremental Cost – 43% Key Purchase
2. Operational Issues – 20% Barriers
• Range limitations
• Horse power
• Loss of payload
3. Difficulty in assessing baseline, payback and total lifecycle cost – 14%
• Battery life and replacement cost
• Unproven technology concerns
4. Charging Infrastructure – 13%
• Lack of infrastructure
• Cost
• Speed of charging
5. Lack of product availability and education on products – 10%
Copyright CALSTART 2011 18
19. For Purchase: Why or Why Not?
Why?
• if grant funding or price concessions are available
• to improve environmental image
• due to WA state law requiring govt entities to switch to EV‟s
Why not?
• Need to verify range, lifecycle costs, and ROI
• Observing early adopters first
• Concerned about reliability
• Prefer hybrids
• Cost is too prohibitive
• Not sure what is available
• Waiting until economy improves
• Not until fuel costs increase
Copyright CALSTART 2011 19
22. Ways to Address
• Improved engineering and production design
• Expanded volumes and supply chain
– Volume purchase cooperatives
• Battery leasing (remove battery cost from
purchase price, add to operational cost) – fleets
would like to see this option
– Also reduces risk of purchase to user (low cost
extended warranty period would also reduce risk)
• Reduced battery sizes (customized to use)
– But in short term may not help business case enough
• Incentives for early market
– Need to cover 50%+ of vehicle incremental cost
Copyright CALSTART 2011 22
23. Draft Recommendations
• Call on vehicle and battery industry to
institute battery leasing model for E-trucks
• Maintain or increase R&D and demonstration
of hybrid and electric technology for trucks
with focus on reduced system costs
• Seek support incentives – ideally purchase
vouchers – for roughly half of E-Truck
incremental costs
Copyright CALSTART 2011 23
24. Quality and Support
• Early vehicles have very low reliability/
availability
– While fleets understand this for now – but it MUST
improve quickly
• Initial quality control low
• Service and parts support often delayed
– Parts not in local supply; service network not built out
• High failure rates coupled with slow parts and
support means fleets stuck with out of service
vehicles for longer than anticipated times

• Encourage fleets to require service turn-
around minimums before purchase

• Fleets need better validation data of the
performance of E-trucks in real-world use
– Want data on reliability #1; range #2; battery life/
replacement #3; maintenance #4; energy use;
infrastructure costs
• Fleets expect 10 year battery life – battery makers
say 6-8 highly likely depending on use profile,
thermal management, recharge rates (level 2)
• Fleets want longer range in most cases; but a
good percentage would like to see a small
battery/shorter range option IF it meaningfully cuts
vehicle costs
Copyright CALSTART 2011 28
29. Performance and Business Case
• Business case main variables are purchase price,
fuel displacement
– Battery replacement also a key worry to business case
• High utilization (or high fuel offset), known route,
return to base fleets ideal
• Infrastructure a higher cost than anticipated for
multi-vehicle fleets
• Fleets need better guidance and data on key
aspects of real-world business case
– Value proposition based on maximum fuel
displacement, reducing purchase and install costs

31. Best Use for Business Case
Fleet & OEM Conversations
To get sufficient payback, need to drive maximum
miles possible (or maximum use of energy)
• Dedicated, return-to-base routes with known daily mileage highly
valuable
High Utilization/Daily miles (5-7 days a week) seems
important
70-100 miles/day seems like an initial “sweet spot” for
fuel savings payback (sufficient miles to generate
fuel savings needed)

33. Battery / Component
Common Approaches
Battery Life:
• Based on the following standard use profiles for e-trucks, how
long do you anticipate battery life to extend? (Assume once a day
charging at Level 2).
– 70 mile/day fixed route suburban delivery:
• Energy Storage Providers: 3-5 years (33%), 5-8 years (33%), 10 years (33%)
• Industry: 5-8 years (25%), 8 years (50%),10 years (25%),
– 80% daily battery discharge work site vehicle (e.g., utility truck):
• Energy Storage Providers: 4-6 years (33%), 5-7 years (33%), 10 years (33%)
• Industry: 5 years (22%), 7 years (11%), 8-10 years (55%), 12 years (11%)
– 20 mile/day urban driving:
• Energy Storage Providers: 7-10 years (33%), 8-10 years (33%), 10 years (33%)
• Industry: 4-6 years (37%), 10 years (50%), 15 years (12%)
Copyright CALSTART 2011 33
34. Battery / Component
Common Approaches
Battery Cost:
• How much do you anticipate it will it cost to replace batteries
in the following years (installed pack per kwh):
– 2015:
• Energy Storage Providers: $500/kWh (50%), $600/kWh (50%)
• Industry: $270-300/kWh (33%), $450 kWh (16%), $1,500/kWh (50%)
– 2020:
• Energy Storage Providers: $450/kWh
• Industry: $200 - $230/kWh (33%), $350/kWh (16%), $1,000/kWh (50%)
– 2025:
• Energy Storage Providers: $300/kWh
• Industry: $100-175/kWh (33%), $300/kWh (16%), $500/kWh (16%),
$750/kWh (33%)

35. Draft Recommendations
• Create and circulate draft GENERAL business
case guide
• Recommend adopting common “use profiles”
as basis of business case assumptions,
battery life guarantees
• Create and circulate GENERAL infrastructure
planning guide
• Create a clearinghouse for fleet in-use data
sharing on E-trucks
Copyright CALSTART 2011 35
37. Infrastructure
• Level 2 charging most common for fleets
• Most fleets plan to charge once per day, over
night (some considering fast charge)
• Most single truck deployments will get power at
service shop; however, plans are to take power
to where vehicles normally park
• Fleets say are not getting good guidance from
vehicle vendors on what infrastructure needs
and costs are
Copyright CALSTART 2011 38
38. Infrastructure
• Average EVSE simple, single install $3300
(usually at a building); fleets say often higher
• Installing conduit to take power to truck locations
can cost $8-10,000 or more
• Demand charge is key issue – time of charge
can push facility over its core demand load and
cost much more money
• No existing EV charge rate for commercial sites
(though Time of Use – TOU – rates exist)
• Fleets may need new costly electrical service
expansion to accommodate demand from 3-5
more vehicles
Copyright CALSTART 2011 39
39. Draft Recommendations
• Create and circulate GENERAL infrastructure
planning guide
• Work to create a commercial EV charge rate
• Eliminate or reduce demand charge for
commercial EV charging (if timed to protect
the grid)
Copyright CALSTART 2011 40
42. Vehicle Placement, Use
• Value proposition is based on maximum fuel
offset
• Must deploy vehicles in use profiles that
support this proposition
• Dedicated, return-to-base routes with known daily
mileage highly valuable
• High Utilization/Daily miles (5-7 days a week) is
important
• 70-100 miles/day (or equivalent energy use) seems
like an initial “sweet spot” for fuel savings payback
(sufficient miles to generate fuel savings that offset
purchase price)
