Zero emission cities – what can electric vehicles deliver? Andrew Whittles - Steve Carroll Cenex September 2009 Care4Air – Clearer Futures Conference Sheffield, 17 th September 2009

Zero emission cities Introduction Introduction to Cenex Analysis and statistics on electric vehicle suitability Road mapping future electric vehicle (EV) technology Government supported EV incentives and initiatives EV laboratory and real world performance EV CO2 emissions DFT consultation feedback on point of purchase EV subsidy

Zero emission cities Introduction to Cenex Formed in 2005 by industry members in response to a BERR request for a Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Technologies to address twin challenges: –Need to cut carbon emissions from road transport –Need to maintain UK competitiveness during the transition to a low carbon economy Not an R&D Centre of Excellence Cenex – supporting (the UK supply chain) by brokering technology demonstration and public procurement projects Managing the multiple Low Carbon Vehicle Programmes Provide Low Carbon Vehicle consultancy services

Test bed UK - Government lead initiative to form collaborative environment to make the UK world leading destination to develop, demonstrate, manufacture and use ultra low carbon vehicles. ~ £400 million committed to electrification of transport The joined-cities plan - Working with a nine cities (Glasgow, Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Coventry, Milton Keynes, Oxford, London) and their Distribution Network Operators to deliver network of recharging infrastructure, additional outcome will be ETI infrastructure planning toolkit to inform decision making. Ultra-low carbon cars (DFT) - £250 million for (£2 – 5k) point of purchase price reductions on price of EV an PHEV due 2011 Plugged in places - £20 million seed funding to initiate a variety of charging initiatives' to determine the pros cons and success of varied methods (slow charge, fast charging, inductive charging...) Low Carbon Vehicle Public Procurement Programme - Cenex are delivering a £20 million procurement programme introducing electric and hybrid vans to public sector organisations during 2010 (Smiths, Allied, Modec and Ashwoods) Zero emission cities A selection of current and planned EV / PHEV incentives

Transportation emissions - transferring emissions from cities to power stations - decarbonisation of electricity production through grid through nuclear, renewables, carbon capture and storage to fossil fuelled power stations - common clean-up equipment for air quality emissions Zero emission cities Joined-up thinking – reducing transport emissions - the development of smart metering systems which are able to automatically select charging times and tariffs - local network upgrading - Vehicle-to-grid. Power stored in vehicle batteries could be sold to electricity grid. Management regime required to ensure acceptable charge depletion. Payment would need to cover additional cycling battery costs Further work required to support increased electricity demand

ECE Regulation 101 (NEDC cycle) test gave 114 km range On the Artemis Urban cycle the vehicle achieved km, and km on the Artemis Road cycle. All cycles showed approximately linear state of charge (SOC) decline against time. Zero emission cities Cenex – smart ed laboratory range testing

Typical urban duty ~19km 6.6kW mean motoring power, 1kW regen. ~24% SoC consumed Full study - 32 drivers (5 regular), 6 months, >3000km Zero emission cities Cenex – smart ed operational characteristics

Low utilisation = high equivalent CO2 emissions & high running costs High utilisation gives good performance e.g. 12 hour overnight charge requires daily mileage of >48km to achieve <100g CO2/km Zero emission cities Cenex – smart ed CO2 and cost/km

UK EV registrations currently low. But, CO 2 policy plans suggest a rapid expansion Official statistics show today’s EVs can cover approx 77% of passenger car journeys, future EVs and PHEVs can cover 100% of passenger car journeys EVs offer zero tailpipe emissions Electricity grid decarbonisation and smarting can deliver total low carbon vehicle solution smart ed - stable range (114 km) in laboratory - real world variance (~ 50 – 80 km) smart ed - real life equivCO 2 emissions and running cost are highly dependent on utilisation and carbon intensity of the electricity grid Mitsubishi i-MiEV - equivCO 2 savings and significant cost savings, again decarbonised electricity helps Zero emission cities Conclusions and further information Cenex / Arup electrification of transport study Consultancy- Electrification study Electric drive vehicle deployment in the UK (smart and i-MiEV) Projects– smart

Ultra-low carbon cars: Next steps on delivering the £250 million consumer incentive programme for electric and plug-in hybrid cars Sheffield Care 4 Air consultation exercise

‘Ultra-Low Carbon Vehicles in the UK’ April 09 -DfT/BIS vision document -Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) - £400m Govt measures to accelerate transition to ULCV - Position UK as global leaders in development, demonstration, manufacture and use Eg. TSB Low Carbon Vehicle Innovation Platform DfT Low Carbon Vehicle Public Procurement Programme

Key measure to support early consumer market for electric and plug-in hybrid cars £250 million £230m for point of purchase price reductions - £2000 to £ Scheduled to start 2011 £20 million to help deliver charging points Further £10 million supplement through Strategic Investment Fund “Plugged in Places” Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Framework

The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Grant Programme provides funding for the installation of re-charging or re-fuelling systems to facilitate the uptake of low emission vehicles in the UK. The IGP is funded by the Department for Transport and is managed by Cenex – the UK Centre of Excellence for Low Carbon and Fuel Cell Technologies. A total of £1 million has been made available for projects. The Programme will run initially until 31 st March 2011 and applicants can apply for a grant up to 50% of the eligible cost, payable on completion of the project or following the delivery of key phases of large projects. All projects will be assessed against five key criteria by an independent programme board. The IGP is a window-based application process, and funding bids should be submitted by the following deadlines:

Plugged in Places: 3 to 6 regions or cities to become frontrunners in trialling and adoption of EV infrastructure Plans co-ordinated with arrival and use of EV Facilitate early market plus learning benefits Consortia made up of LAs, RDAs, private sect. Open access framework to foster co-operation Funding available from April 2010 Slow starters not excluded

Plugged in Places: Funding criteria fall under 5 broad headings -Building the local market -Implementing technology (innovation) -Consortia Funding -Integration of re-charging facilities -Information sharing Regional & local stakeholders invited to briefing in Autumn Bids submitted by end of year State aid!
