California Energy Commission Electric Vehicle Activities Pat Perez California Energy Commission

1. California Energy Commission Electric Vehicle Activities Pat Perez California Energy Commission Joint Informational Hearing Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Senate Transportation and Housing Committees Los Angeles, CA August 6, 2010

2. Energy Commission Activities • Charging infrastructure deployment • Workforce development • Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) for electric charging systems, smart grid interoperability, and infrastructure issues • Electricity demand analysis

3. Current Infrastructure • California has 413 stations with 1,300 public access electric charge points • Some are needed to accommodate legacy Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) • Many need to be upgraded to SAE J1772 compliant connectors to charge new PEVs • A larger network of new stations will be needed to support PEVs in the next few years • Emphasis must be focused on residential, off-peak charging

4. Statewide PEV Projections

5. PEV Impact on Electricity Demand • Energy Commission’s most recent projections from 2009 Integrated Energy Policy Report • Statewide electricity consumption of ~4,400 GWh (1.4 percent of total) in 2020 • Peak demand of ~190 MW (0.3 percent) in 2020

6. Energy Commission Infrastructure Funding • Measured approach to infrastructure investments to match initial PEV rollout • Energy Commission is investing $15.3million in electric charging deployment and distribution grid analysis • 635 upgrades statewide • 2,360 residential and commercial charge points in San Diego area and Los Angeles-San Diego highway corridors • 1,610 residential, commercial, and fleet charge points in Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento

7. Local Infrastructure Planning San Diego, Southern California Regional Collaborative (LA), Bay Area EV Corridor, and Sacramento “On the ground” planning at the local level by regional experts Energy Commission has coordinated with these planning efforts since the 1990s Availability of ARRA funds provided important catalyst by requiring involvement of OEMs Initial Energy Commission funding decisions relied largely on these efforts

8. San Diego Nissan/ECOtality Project Includes San Diego Cleans Fuels Coalition, San Diego Association of Governments, and SDG&E Advantage of one local utility and demographics that would support PEV roll out Charger sites based on location of potential PEV purchasers, travel patterns, and local transportation plans Scope was expanded to include more than 50 entities in the greater Los Angeles region

9. Energy Commission Workforce Funding Comprehensive, $75-million Clean Energy Workforce Training Program Focus on renewable energy, advanced vehicle technology and alternative and renewable fuels, and green buildings Preference for disadvantaged populations PEV-related training programs underway in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Richmond, San Francisco and Sacramento

10. Energy Commission RD&D Funding Transportation Sustainability Research Center Pathway to the Smart Grid of 2020 - Utility and Vendor/Manufacture Perspective PHEV & EV Research Center

11. PEV Collaborative Council Bring together California leaders to create a strategic plan for PEV success in California in the near-term and beyond early adopters Conduct PEV Collaborative meetings July to November 2010 Prepare draft strategic plan by December 2010

12. Next Steps • Ensure that existing awards provide adequate residential and off-peak charging for PEVs released in 2010-11 • Do not build out initial public charging infrastructure too quickly – allow time to better understand the need for public charging • Implement a phased approach to build out of initial public charging infrastructure • Develop a business model for public charging
