EV Charging Infrastructure in Richmond: Meeting Climate Targets

This agenda outlines the importance of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Richmond to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The discussion covers options, costing studies, and next steps to achieve climate action targets. It includes strategies to promote low-carbon vehicles, set EV charging requirements in new developments, and expand the city's network of charging stations. The market projections for plug-in electric vehicles are discussed, along with the need for widespread adoption to combat global warming. Various factors influencing EV adoption are highlighted, such as cost, gas prices, and government policies. Proposed solutions to support access to charging in Richmond include different charging technologies and updated requirements for residential parking spaces. The costing study results address issues in multi-unit residential buildings and seek ways for stratas to recover costs and facilitate EV charging installations. The agenda aims to advance EV infrastructure development in Richmond for a more sustainable future.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in New DevelopmentsCity of Richmond

  2. Agenda 1 – 1:10pm Introductions 1:10 – 1:30pm Context & Draft EV Charging Infrastructure Requirements 1:30 – 2pm EV Charging Requirement Options & Costing Study – Summary of Methods & Findings 2 – 3pm Discussion; Next Steps

  3. Official Community Plan Climate Action Targets • Reduce GHGs 33% below 2007 levels by 2020; • 80% by 2050. • Consistent with what is necessary of developed countries to avoid dangerous levels of climate change

  4. Richmond Emissions

  5. Widespread adoption of Zero Carbon Vehicles Needed to Achieve Targets

  6. Community Energy & Emissions Plan • Strategy 7: Promote Low Carbon Personal Vehicles • Action 18: Set minimum requirements for EV charging infrastructure in new developments • Action 19: Continue expanding City-owned network of EV charging stations

  7. About Plug-in Electric Vehicles(Climate Impacts, Market Projections, etc.)

  8. Types of Electric Vehicles Plug-in Electric Vehicle (EV) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Toyota Prius (Hybrid) Chevy Volt Nissan Leaf

  9. EV Market Share – BC & Canada >1% vehicles sold Source: Fleetcarma. 2017.

  10. EV Market – Global • Market growing rapidly • ~1% of all sales, globally • Only 0.2% of global vehicle stock Source: International Energy Agency. 2017. Global EV Outlook 2017.

  11. EV Markets – Other Jurisdictions Source: International Energy Agency. 2017. Global EV Outlook 2017.

  12. How fast could markets for EVs grow?

  13. BC Projections(In the Absence of Govt. Policy) Source: Powertech Labs. 2016.

  14. Widespread adoption of EVs is needed to avoid dangerous levels of global warming (30% of passenger vehicle sales by 2030; What is needed to achieve Paris aspiration) Source: International Energy Agency. 2016. Global EV Outlook 2016.

  15. EV Adoption Depends On: • Cost of EVs • Gas prices • EV range • Changing Transportation Systems • Autonomous vehicles • Shared mobility • Government Policy • ZEV requirements (Quebec & 10 US states) • Carbon pricing • Incentives • Access to charging (greatest area of City influence)

  16. Options to Support Access to Charging in Richmond

  17. Charging “Levels”

  18. “Load Management” & “Load Sharing” Charging Technologies for Apartment Parkades • Reduces development costs • Equivalent performance to L2 charging • Manages peak load; reducing utility costs • Can facilitate billing Source: EverCharge.

  19. Access to Home Charging is a Major Determinant of EV Adoption BC Residents’ Access to Home Charging. Source. SFU. 2015. Electrifying Vehicles: Insights from the Canadian Plug-in Electric Vehicle Study.

  20. Official Community Plan Policy Current requirement: • a minimum of 20% of parking stalls L1 receptacle • An additional 25% of parking stalls “rough-in”. • 10% of Class 1 bicycle spaces 120 volt receptacle. Council direction to consult stakeholders & propose revised requirements

  21. Updated Requirements Under Consideration • All residential parking spaces shall be “Energized”. • “Energized” means - All infrastructure required for charging of an electric vehicle (EV), including all electrical equipment (including metering), cabling and associated raceways, and connections, with exception of the Level 2 EVSE equipment. • Performance standard - A minimum performance level of 12 kWh per EVSE, over an eight (8) hour overnight period. Load management and/or load sharing may be implemented. • Mechanism • Building Regulation Bylaw requirement being considered • May remain an OCP policy

  22. Richmond’s Costing Study Results

  23. Issues Impacting EV Charging in MURBs Key issues include: • How stratas/building owners can recover the cost of electricity used for EV charging? • BCUC clarification • How to ensure stratas allow drivers to install EVSE? & Drivers implement appropriate EVSE (smart charging)? • “Right to Charge” legislation • Contract with charging service provider? • Model strata bylaws? • CoR has secured ~$10k from BC Hydro to develop solutions • Others?
