  1. Promoting Clean Vehicles in a Sustainable South Bay Local Use Vehicles and other Electric Vehicles June 2011

  2. Why This is Important Criteria Pollutants Rising oil prices Climate Action Planning & green house gas emission reductions Existing SB 375 strategies do not suit South Bay conditions because it is mature, dense & transit poor Lacking consumer awareness of Clean Vehicle options

  3. SBCCOG Activities Testing electric Local Use Vehicles (LUVs) Seeking opportunities to test the new longer range EVs and fuel cell vehicles coming to market Assisting cities to convert their fleets to EVs if possible Researching market acceptance and technologies to assist in siting electric charging stations Developing guidelines for cities to consider in designing Complete Streets

  4. LUV Pilot • The LUV Demonstration Program is testing electric • Local Use Vehicles (LUVs) • 7 small, short range & low speed cars for taking ‘local’ trips • Driven by local residents for 3-6 months at a time • Demonstrating use on local streets • Previously only in closed campuses • Designed to: • Help overcome consumer resistance to unfamiliar technologies • Inform public policy makers about the practical barriers to wide spread adoption of Local Use Vehicles

  8. Matching Vehicle Types to Trip Types

  9. Consumer Acceptance • Enthusiastic participants • Their original gas guzzlers sit unused • Sometimes so long they have to get a jump start when they try to use their old cars • Several of our drivers are interested in purchasing a LUV to replace one of their vehicles • Travel time is not an issue for local trips

  10. Benefits: Emission Reduction

  11. Benefits: Future Emission Reductions • Demonstrates potential emissions reductions from LUVs • Such as replacing 60% of the 243,800 second and third vehicles per household in the South Bay with LUVs • The equivalent CO2 reductions as planting over 600,000 trees per year • Reduce gas consumption by over 17 million gallons each year

  12. Complete Streets • Low Speed Vehicles are a valuable and cost effective approach to GHG reduction • Robust Complete Streets planning can encourage Walking, Biking, and Low Speed EV use • Class II lanes on select arterials should be built wide enough to accommodate bikes and NEVs

  13. Bringing EVs to the South Bay • Promoting conversion to clean vehicles in the South Bay • Full Speed EV Demonstration Program • Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Demonstration Program • Clean Vehicle Outreach • EV Charging Station Planning • Virtual EV Mall (pending funding)

  14. Battery Electric & Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles BEV PHEV • All Electric Range: 60 to 200 Miles, depending on battery size • Level II Charging • 240 v (40 amp) • 4 to 6 hours charge • Target markets: • Urban Commuters • Second Car in Every Home • Unlimited range • 10 to 40 mile all electric • Level I and Level II Charging • 120 v – 240 v • 6 to 8 hours Level 1 • 3 to 4 hours Level 2 • Target Market: all automotive applications

  15. The New Wave of Plug-in Electric Vehicles • Over next three years 15 – 22 models will be introduced • South Bay is an early target market Cumulative Plug-in Vehicles in SCE Service Area (in thousands)

  16. Plug-in Electric Vehicle Benefits • Low cost of fuel • Electricity is 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost of gasoline, on a per mile basis • Reduced green-house gas emissions: Low maintenance • Federal and state financial incentives 16

  17. NEVs for City Fleets • Current Miles EV Sale • 30+ mile range • Priced at $12,900 – $14,900 depending on volume • NEV pickups are excellent for city fleets • Customizable for specific uses • Cost effective GHG reductions from city fleets

  18. EV Charging - EVSE • Most charging will occur at home • Installing chargers in multifamily buildings is challenging • Additional public and workplace chargers will be needed
