AMSIIIC: Electric and Hybrid Vehicles grütter consulting
Problem Areas: Summary • Additionality determination • Lack of clarity and details of methodology grütter consulting
Additionality: Background • Due to transaction costs and limited size of emission reductions per vehicle electric vehicle projects are best clustered around producers. • Barriers towards massive sales of electric and hybrid vehicles are: • Higher investment • Technological barriers including limited range, limited speed, limited payload, limited space • Limited market penetration grütter consulting
Additionality: DOE • TUEV North asked 9.2010 the EB for a clarification without response to date • This has effectively stopped the first 4 electric vehicle projects worldwide, all blocked in the validation stage since more than 1 year grütter consulting
Additionality: Proposed Changes • The methodology is applicable to producers of electric/hybrid vehicles as well as to fleet owners. • Additionality of projects can be proven through: • Higher investment cost • Technological barriers • Prevailing practice: Projects are considered as additional if the market share of electric/hybrid vehicles of the same vehicle category is less than 5% in the host country where the project is proposed grütter consulting
