10% of all Vehicles will be electric Battery or PHEV 250k vehicles 10% of all road transport energy will be renewable Electric Vehicles Government Targets for 2020
Large Focus on EV ! Cabinet Sub Committee ESB EV Team Motor Vehicle/ EV Manufacturers Dept of Energy Depts Energy, Environment, Enterprise, Transport, Finance IDA, EI, SEI, ESB Transport Vehicles & Infrastructure Finance Fiscal Incentives Enterprise Opportunities for Ireland Inc
Can the Electricity Grid cope with EVs? Are the Batteries up to it? Will the Vehicles have sufficient range? Will there be affordable vehicles available? Will charging infrastructure be available and will it be standard across Europe? Are there opportunities for Ireland Inc? Issues
86% of Irish work commutes under 50km (return) Battery EVs can easily meet most daily needs But occasional needs for longer journey both actual and psychological (Range Anxiety) Range Extension provided different ways Plug-in Hybrids Battery Electric Vehicles Battery Exchange Fast Charging of Battery Solving Range Needs
Infrastructure Design Principles Home charging Charging network Destination charging Pathway charging Short distance Round trip Long distance Normal charging Normal & quick charging Quick charging
Non Exclusive Agreement Infrastructure requirements and roll-out Short-term Incentives needed to kick start market Education Supply of Vehicles Discussions with other vehicle manufacturers Imminent agreement with some others Negotiating Supply of Vehicles
