This document discusses electric vehicle charging networks and their role in Asia's decarbonization efforts. It outlines various fleet electrification strategies for different vehicle types, noting benefits like predictable duty cycles and cost savings for EV fleets. While upfront capital costs of electric vehicles are higher, operating costs are significantly lower due to fuel and maintenance savings. The document also provides lessons learned on managing permitting processes, approvals, and other project controls to reduce costs and delays when developing electric vehicle infrastructure.

EV Fleets
✓Predictable duty cycles (+ greater
cost savings)
✓Shorter routes / flat terrain
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Fleets:
✓Fast refueling
✓Long range
✓Heavy payloads

While capital costs
are higher…
Electric Truck
~$180K
Diesel Truck
$135K
Electric Van
$45K
Gas Van
$36K
Costs for Ford eTransit and Tesla Semi
are coming in at about 30-50% on the
capital cost side

…operating costs
are significantly
lower
As fuel and maintenance savings are
the biggest drivers of savings, vehicles
with higher mileage will drive positive
business cases.
Trucking is a tight margin business and
these savings are significant to the
bottom line.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure – Controlling Project Costs
Project Delays are
Expensive. Plan Way
Ahead for:
• site feasibility
• power delivery
• equipment lead times
• design approvals
Vehicles that Cannot Charge and Expedited
Construction are Expensive.
• power delivery per facility
• understand and manage entire supply chain
• understand all required approvals
(internal/external)
• understand and plan for contracts and legal
process
Change and Risk are Expensive.
• quality information drives design
certainty
• design certainty drives cost
certainty
• develop execution strategies to
reduce risk
• plan for unknowns

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Lessons Learned
• Start early on EVERYTHING​
• Interagency agreements
and approvals
• State environmental impact
filings
• Sort applicable terms and
conditions
• Differences between
vehicles, infrastructure and
deployment services
Manage process, permissions & buy-in
• Utility load letters right of
way and service
agreements
• DOT and city approvals,
special permits
• Building and electrical
permits (can expire!)
• Facility & Energy Managers

10. ICE Policy Trends Across Asia Pacific
Singapore – 60,000 Charging Points and sale of new cars restricted to cleaner
energy models from 2030
India - 30% of private cars, 70% of commercial vehicles and 80% of two and
three-wheelers by 2030
Thailand - electric vehicles (EVs) account for 30% of domestic vehicle
production by 2030
Malaysia - 38% from the total industry volume by 2040
Australia – ZEV sales of 80-90 per cent by 2030
Indonesia - 600,000 EVs by 2030
Vietnam - net-zero emissions in the transport sector by 2050

11. 11
Commercial EV Sales Surge
in 2023
• ZEV vans and truck sales predicted
hit almost 600,000 globally in 2023.
Up over 80% from 2022.
• Rigorous use of commercial vehicles
means substantially reduced
emissions and oil demand when
electrified.
• Large orders made from GM’s
BrightDrop, Volvo Truck, Tesla,
Daimler Truck and others, and
deliveries are occurring.
