John Campion from ESB discussed ESB's initiatives to support electric vehicles and sustainable transport. ESB is acquiring electric vehicles for its fleet, studying the impacts of EVs on electricity load and networks, and working with manufacturers and other utilities internationally. ESB aims to help Ireland meet its goal of 10% electric vehicle penetration by 2020 and sees opportunities for Irish enterprises in the electric vehicle industry.

•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
