  1. Electric Cars – VehiclesoftheFuture? • Patrick Plötz, Fraunhofer ISI, Karlsruhe • SÜD Heidelberg, November 2011

  2. Myth: “Electric vehicles are useless – they can’t go far.”

  3. Myth: “Electric vehicles are useless – they can’t go far.” Property Gasoline vehicle Plug-in-Hybrid Battery electric vehicle • Typical daily driving distances are short. • Most (80%) of day-travels are shorter than 60 km. • Few (8 %) of day-travels are longer than 130 km Range > 700 km 50 + 600 km < 150 km Refueling Frequency Every 2 weeks every day + When necessary Every 3 days or30% every day Refueling Duration 3 minutes 3 minutes + 2 hours 0.5 - 8 hours Source: Mobilitätspanel, Fraunhofer ISI • Plug-in-hybrid electric vehicles can also go long distances Electric vehicles

  4. Myth:“Electric vehicles can help integrating renewable energies, but they need so much electricity.”

  5. Myth:“Electric vehicles can help integrating renewable energies, but they need so much electricity.” • Take 1 Million electric vehicles, • giving on average 10 kWh = 10 GWh= 10 minutes of the average German electricity need • Loading with 3,7 kW each = 3,7 GW= 2.4% of installed German power (155 GW in 2009) • Electricity need of 1 million vehicles: • Driving 14 300 km per year (German average) and using 16 kWh/100 km = 3 TWh/a = 0.5% of annual German electricity use • Large fleet of electric vehicles offers some power but small capacity Source: BDEW, Fraunhofer ISI Drawing: Heyko Stöber

  6. Myth: “Electric vehicles need public charging points.”

  7. Myth: “Electric vehicles need public charging points.” • Charging at home: cheap & easy • The majority of car users has a fixed place for his/her car (either a garage or a place at home) • Even in larger cities (>100.000 inhabitants) only some people (22% in Germany) have no fixed parking place Source: Mobilitätspanel, Fraunhofer ISI • Plug-in-hybrid electric vehicles can also go long distances • To start a mass market, no expensive infrastructure needed

  9. A growing mobility demand faces limited fossile resources Growing demand for oil cannot be covered sustainably Source: Shell, WBCSD

  10. To achieve Europe‘s climate targets, a drastic reduction in transport CO2-emissions is needed The EU‘s long term goal is to reduce GHG emissions by 80% Power production and road transport have to become almost CO2-free This is impossible with efficiency gains in combustion engines New technologies and concepts are clearly needed. Electric vehicles powered by renewable energies can contribute significantly Source: www.roadmap2050.eu

  11. Electric vehicles can reduce emissions and noise in your local environment Electric vehicles locally produce less noise and emissions They create a calmer and cleaner local environment But their production is very energy consuming Source: Fraunhofer ISI

Past and Present of electric vehicles:How do they work? What do they cost?Do we need special charging stations?Are they “green”?

  13. The first road vehicle achieving a speed of more than 100 km/h The French electric vehicle La jamais contente with 105 km/h in 1899

  14. Short Historyofelectricvehicles • First hybrid by Ferdinand Porsche in 1899 • Gasoline vehicles cheaper and faster from 1920 until today • Renewed interest in 1980s after oil crises • Today‘s batteries allow longer ranges • Invention ofelectricvehicle 1834 • Large marketsharesaround 1900 Sources: Chan 2007, wikipedia Thomas Edison with electric car in 1913

  15. German vehicle stock in 2011 • 80 % of vehicles are passenger cars: 30 million gasoline, 11 million diesel • Currently, 2300 Electric vehicles and 40,000 hybrids Vehicles in Germany Source: Kraftfahrtbundesamt (2011),

  16. How does an electric vehicle work? • Battery electric vehicle: Small number of main components: • Electric motor • Large battery • AC/DC converter • Electronics... • No oil or fuel tank • No exhaust system (tail pipe etc.) • Hybrid electric vehicle: • Small combustion engine • Small fuel tank • Electronics • Fuel cell electric vehicle has an additional tank and fuel cell • Electric vehicle ≈ several wheels and a plug Source: Bosch AG

  17. The energy density of current batteries sets limits to the use of electric vehicles Quelle: GM, 2009

  18. Electric vehicles produced in 2010 • A few manufacturers are already producing electric vehicles • Numbers are really tiny compared to world vehicle production of 78 million units in 2010

  19. When can we buy eletcric vehicles? • Alternative fuel vehicles already available or announced for 2011 – 2014 by major manufacturers in the German market Simple hybrids already available Many battery electric vehicles underway Only some plug-in hybrids announced

  20. Electric vehicles come in a broad variety Sports cars Plug-in hybrid passenger car Small electric vehicles soon Battery LDVs Off-road duty vehicle Plug-in hybrid LDV today Elektroroller

  21. How much does an electric vehicle cost? • Example for the total life cycle costs for a battery electric vehicle with average annual German driving range (14000 km, no tax, 2015): • Long driving distances required to make BEVs economically attractive • Battery and fuel costs are the main drivers for total cost of ownership (TCO) Maintenance Battery costs Costs in cent per kilometer Vehicle purchase Fuel Quelle: Fraunhofer ISI

  22. Support by the German government on electric mobility • Political actions: • Non-financial incentives • No direct purchase support • Research funding: 2 million € • No car tax (below 50 gCO2/km) • low tax for commercial cars • Target: 10% of governmental vehicles • Use of bus lanes for EVs • Free city entry 1 million by 2020 Quelle: Regierungsprogramm Elektromobilität 2011

  25. How „green“ are electric vehicles? • The production of batteries for electric vehicles is very energy intense • Depending on the electricity used, additional CO2 emissions from electricity generation need to be taken into account • With electricity from renewable sources drastic reduction of CO2 emissions are possible • Conventionalvehicles • Electric vehicles GHG potential in tons CO2e Vehicle production Battery production Additional battery Electricity generation
