Maximizing the ROI of Fleet ElectrificationFleetCarma
In this webinar we discuss some of the best practices seen from our fleet partners, and cover topics such as:
- How to integrate EVs into your fleet with confidence. Ensure that the vehicles are not only capable of the job, but that they’ll also bring predictable cost savings.
- How to maximize an EV’s workload. The more electric miles that a vehicle travels, the more fuel it will offset, resulting in a greater return.
- How to optimize fleet charging. This allows you to both reduce energy costs and increase the potential workload of your EV fleet.

Workplace charging works! So lets make it simple!Proterra Inc
Recently the Department of Energy's "Workplace Charging Challenge" survey of employers that offer workplace charging, revealed that employees that are offered charging at work are 20 times more likely to drive a Plugin Electric Vehicle. The survey also showed that 80% of these employees offered this as a benefit to retain and attacked talented modern workforce. Since 78% of commuters drive 20 miles or less to work, replenishing this amount of electricity is consistent and equals the cost of a cup of coffee in the break-room. This means that companies don't need to install $5000, high powered, fast, communicating, chargers. Many willing companies are getting discouraged by these industry practices. Simple level 1 charger or the lower powered Level 2, like the Telefonix PowerPostEVSE product line, is a simple, safe and practical solution.

EV Charging Infrastructure doesn't need to be complicated, over designed, or over powered. First of all more charging happens at home or work than public. Over 90% drive less that 35 miles to work. Perfect for an EV to get replenished at low power (sipping, not gulping) This is more grid friendly and avoids building upgrades and peak demand issues.
Wireless charging using electromagnetic induction, and resonance magnetic coupling. Effects and limitations, cheallenges faced and meathods to overcome. Success Case study. References included.
Microgrids, Electric Vehicles and Wireless ChargingJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how electric vehicles will become economic feasible if the right design decisions are made to benefit from the falling costs of electronics. One key decision is the use of micro-grids to enable direct charging of the batteries, which is more efficient. A second key decision is the number of recharging stations and thus the frequency by which users can recharge their vehicles. More frequent recharging means smaller batteries can be used and thus the slow rate of improvements for energy storage densities can be overcome. A third key decision is wired vs. wireless charging. Wireless charging eliminates the time consuming maintenance and fitting problems of wires and thus enables faster hookups. It also benefits from the rapidly falling cost of electronics; the falling cost of ICs, power electronics, and thin-film coils means that wireless charging is likely to become economically feasible in the near future and allow the problem of low energy storage densities of batteries to be solved.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for PlugSurfing. PlugSurfing is creating a global network of EV charging stations that can be used with a single account thus eliminating the need for multiple passwords, credit cards, and other identifiers. It had created a network of 25,000 charging points by January 2016, mostly in Germany and the Netherlands. It already has a density of 17 charging points per square kilometer in central cities and 4 per square kilometer in suburbs. It has also begun expanding into France, Italy, and Belgium. The slides summarize the business model for PlugSurfing including the value proposition, customers, method of value capture, scope of activities, and method of strategic control.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for wireless charging for electric vehicles. Wireless charging eliminates cables that require time-consuming connections and maintenance as water and sun degrade them. Continuous wireless charging reduces the required batter capacity through coils that are included in vehicles and embedded in roads. These slides describe the specific value proposition for cities, building owners, and other specific customers and other aspects of the business model such as the method of value capture, scope of activities, and method of strategic control.
Throughout this book, we have explored the many facets of the EV industry, from the rise of
electric vehicles to the latest advancements in battery technology and charging infrastructure.
We have also examined the challenges facing the industry, including consumer perception
and adoption hurdles, regulatory roadblocks, and supply chain complexities.
Despite these challenges, the EV industry is poised for growth and impact, with the potential
to create a more sustainable and equitable transportation system. This will require
collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to addressing the challenges that lie ahead.
We hope that this book has provided a valuable resource for industry professionals,
policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of transportation. We also hope that it has
inspired you to join the EV revolution and contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and
equitable transportation system.

The EV owner “sets & forgets” their needs &
auto-enroll criteria in the FleetCarma portal.
Using the FleetCarma logger clipped in the
vehicle the system can determine the needs
of each EV owner. The system then
automatically queues charging if the grid
needs it.
The system ensures the vehicle is fully
charged by a specific time (TCIN).
By taking the EV owner needs as the primary
objective the risk to the EV owners is
minimized, which results in easier
recruitment of participants.

And what we are hearing from fleets
“We are interested in smart charging because demand
charges are starting to make the EV ROI difficult”
~ US private company
“At some point we will not be able to install a charging
station for every EV we add to the fleet”

“Adding 20 more EVs will cost us $150K in service
upgrade costs” ~ US municipality
14. ChargeTO
Driving EV Adoption
Why…
ChargeTO (this pilot)
All of the theoretical benefits of smart-charging rely on one assumption…
That EV owners will permit reasonable access to their charging.
Strong work has been done to track what EV and potential EV owners say they would be willing to do.
--
ChargeTO seeks to answer the following questions with real EV owners that are actually being curtailed:
1. How comfortable are EV owners with controlled charging in the FleetCarma system?
2. What is the average kW/vehicle of curtailment capacity that is available to the utility (per hr of day)?
3. How does the average kW/vehicle of curtailment capacity vary by EV owner type?
4. What is the $ of curtailment value per vehicle?
5. How does the $ of curtailment value per vehicle vary by EV owner type?

EV Owner View/Preferences
The EV Owner expresses their needs/interests in the following three steps:
1. Only consider me for curtailment if my SOC is above…
2. And you can have me fully charged by…
3. And I haven’t hit the 24hr opt-out button.
So…
If I’m above the min-SOC, and you can
have me fully charged by when I need,
and I haven’t hit the 24hr opt-out, then
I’m available for curtailment.

The Four Most Important Results to Date
days of active
curtailment
reports of “the system
curtailed me & I wasn’t
fully charged on time”
(a few EVSE installation
issues though…)
0
reduction in daily
peak charging load.
This is the % of peak
load that can be
shed every night.
51% 85%
temporary reduction
in peak charging load
This is load that can
be shed for a
temporary period
(<1hr)
Extrapolating to the June 2019 values this would represent an active daily management
curtailable load of 10MW, with the ability to curtail up to 14MW for periods of up to an hour.
