Washington State GHG Emissions by Source in 2010 (million metric tons CO2e) 23% of total state emissions.
Workplace-related GHG emissions: kWh vs. Gasoline Based on: 1 million SF office tower, electricity consumption of 17.5 kWh/SF; Seattle City Light emissions of 0.1 lbs CO2/kWh; 990 employee vehicles per day; 251 work days; PSRC 2006 Activity Survey commuter data; and vehicle emissions based on US passenger fleet average of 22 MPG, 4.90 lbs CO2 per gallon for upstream gasoline production, 20% adder due to oil sands content in Washington State refined gasoline, and 19.6 lbs CO2 per gallon tailpipe emissions.
Which conventional passenger vehicle commuters have the greatest impact on workplace-related GHG emissions from gasoline? Source: Puget Sound Regional Council 2006 Activity Survey
Which PEV commuters could benefit from reliable charging at work? * Depending on how it is driven, may use both gas & electricity. ** Not sufficient range to complete trip on electricity alone.
Significant PEV savings: Long Distance Commuter with workplace charging • 3 year lease • 19,306 miles per year: 66 mile roundtrip commute; 20 miles per weekend day • Gas Cost: $4/gallon average over period. • Efficiency: MPG = EPA Combined City/Highway; Watts/mile = EPA rating. • Electricity: $0.11 per kWh average over period. • $0.15 per mile over 12,000 miles per year additional lease cost. • Maintenance: Not included. Lower for PEV. • Home Charging Station Costs: Not included. L2 plus installation would add ~$1,000 initial.

Energy efficiency provides benefits by reducing load, while transportation electrification provide benefits by increasing load. Increasing the use of electricity for transportation provides net benefits for both society [petroleum displacement, GHG reduction, PM reduction, NOx+ROG reduction] and utility ratepayers.
