Plug-in Electric Vehicles Getting PEV Ready

1. Plug-in Electric VehiclesGetting PEV Ready May 2010

2. Overview • SCE has been an industry leader with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) since 1988 and is now preparing for their launch in 2011 • Southern California will be a hot spot with vocal early adopters wanting to charge at home, work, and public locations • SCE and many utilities nationwide are working with automakers, cities, and other stakeholders to help: • Streamline the home charging installation process • Develop public charging infrastructure plans • Collaborate on education and outreach • Seek vehicle and infrastructure incentives • PEV efforts may help cities comply with SCAQMD rule 2202 and may be a policy option as the region implements SB 375

4. The New Wave of Plug-in Electric Vehicles Cumulative Plug-in Vehicles in SCE Service Area (in thousands) • Over next three years, 10 – 14 models being introduced by major automakers and 5 – 8 models by start-ups • Southern California will be an early target market • Residential consumers will want streamlined installation process • Businesses will want workplace and public-access chargeports • Governments will want chargeports for their fleets, employees, and citizens Note: Chart includes both plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles.

5. What is Different Today versus the 90’s • US “oil addiction” • $80 barrel… $100 by ? • $3+ @ pump…$4+ by ? • Majority of Americans want reduced foreign oil dependence • Plug in vehicles building from the hybrid base • Lithium Ion battery maturity • Computer controlled energy management systems • Federal research and development success • Federal stimulus dollars for vehicle and battery plant construction • Federal and state commitment - $’s and “Bully Pulpit” focus • Consumers demanding better MPG- Government & industry is responding

6. Battery Electric & Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles BEV – Nissan Leaf PHEV – Chevy Volt • 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

7. SCE & Other Utilities Support Nationwide Pledge* Ensure no power grid impacts from PEVs Help develop comprehensivelocal charging infrastructure plans Infrastructure Accelerate introduction of PEVs into utility fleet operations We need the support & collaboration of cities and other stakeholders to achieve these objectives Deliver exceptional customer care on questions ranging from 2nd meters to rates Work with stakeholders to facilitate a streamlined charging installation process Customer Support Collaborate with state & local officials, autos, and other stakeholders for comprehensive education outreach to PEV customers Customer & Stakeholder Education Work with federal, state, and local stakeholders to encourage adoption through purchase incentives, tax rebates, off-peak charging rates, and subsidized parking Vehicle & Infrastructure Incentives Utility Fleets * through Edison Electric Institute

8. Benefits of PEV Leadership & Collaboration By participating in regional applications for PEV-related funding, collaborating with SCE to improve the home charging installation process, and extending education & outreach efforts, a city can: • Position itself as a champion on major green issues • Better compete for grants and other public funds for PEV public infrastructure • Improve the overall satisfaction of its constituency • Derive additional EV value for its community • Dollars that normally go international instead stay local (???) • Increased individual expendable income • Environmental and health benefits to citizens

9. Charging Infrastructure Challenges Charging Locations Some of the Issues Takeaways • Need seamless experience to support adoption • Many potential providers • Codes & standards for new construction Most important to address through streamlining of processes Single Family Residential • Regional infrastructure needed to reduce range anxiety • Millions of dollars of funding available thru CEC, SCAQMD, others • Work with SCE & other cities to create regional applications for funds • Building codes & standards needed to ease future integration • Typically, more complicated installations with numerous sizes & configurations • Work with variety of landlords, HOAs, businesses, etc. • Workplace / employee charging infrastructure is 2nd most important to develop • Early focus is to upgrade 2,000 – 3,000 existing public chargeports / stubs • Timing with market growth is important Multi-unit Residential Business / Commercial Public / Street

10. Problem: Single-Family Installation Process Meter Setting & Completion Based on SCE experience in 2009, this process can take as many as 50 days to complete. • Time delays, scheduling issues • Coordinating multiple entities • Time delays, scheduling issues • Meter set and energized City Inspection • Time delays, scheduling issues Electrician Installs EVSE Service Planner Assessment • Utility time delays, scheduling & checking of neighborhood grid system capability Contact Utility, Find Electrician • Potential customer confusion and wasted time Customer Purchases Vehicle Multiple parties / handoffs and lags are the cause, with SCE, electrician, and city processes equally responsible for length. • Customer maybe unclear what infrastructure is needed at home

11. Solution: Improving Customer Experience Customer Education & Outreach Customer Vehicle Purchase Streamlined City Processes Improved Installation • Review city inspection requirements • Installation guidelines & manuals • Explore pre-authorized installations and after-the-fact inspections • Explore online permitting • Help set consumers expectations • Help encourage consumers to determine needs & costs prior to buying car • Automakers, auto dealers, websites and others help educate the consumer during the purchase process • Utility alerted & customer directed for information • Help explore new electrician installation scenarios • Improve utility processes Achieving a one-week installation process will require better customer education, improved coordination among parties, and a common, streamlined installation process

12. Public Infrastructure – Getting Ready • City of Los Angeles – LADWP – and 28 other cities and organizations applied for $3.2 Million California Energy Commission Funding to build out previous infrastructure • Coulombe receiving $30 Million stimulus grant – 9 national locations – 5000 public chargers, California estimated to receive $6M • Other third parties planning public infrastructure investment to meet perceived market demand • SCE beginning to receive calls from commercial entities considering public charge port infrastructure

13. Near-term Collaboration • On-going dialogue to understand the current city process and review opportunities for streamlining • Work with state & local bodies to coordinate building codes & standards that address PEV issues • Regional partnerships to seek funding for chargeport infrastructure in public lots / streets, workplaces, retail and community destinations, and vehicle fleet locations • Discuss opportunities on education and outreach (e.g., linking websites, handouts, copy for newsletters, etc.) Visit www.sce.com/pev and take our 5-minute survey
