The Electric Vehicle Technology Roadmap for CanadaABVE – 2009 11 10
Outline • About EMC • Some Canadian facts • About Technology Roadmaps • The EV Technology Roadmap
What is EMC • Electric Mobility Canada is a national membership–based not-for-profit organization dedicated exclusively to the promotion of electric mobility as a readily available and important solution to Canada’s emerging energy and environmental issues.
EMC membership Categories Voting Members • Industry (OEM’s, Supply Chain & Consultants) • Energy Providers (Provincial and local) • End Users (Private and public fleets) • NGO’s Research Centres, Labour Non Voting Members • Supporters • Associates (Government Agencies)
EMC Board of Directors • Elected by the Voting Members
Some Canadian Statistics • Population 33.5 million (80% in urban areas) • Gross Domestic Product – 1.27 trillion $ • 10 provinces & 3 territories Population per sq. km. • Canada – 3 • USA – 30 • Brazil - 22
Canadian Transportation Data Total vehicle registrations - 28,466,275 • Total road motor vehicle registrations - 21,087,014 • Vehicles weighing less than 4500 kilograms - 19,612,935 • Vehicles weighing 4500 kilograms to 14999 kilograms - 490,147 • Vehicles weighing 15000 kilograms or more - 332,873 • Buses - 84,163 • Motorcycles and mopeds - 566,894 • Trailers - 5,527,800 • Off-road, construction, farm vehicles - 1,851,460
The governance of transportation in Canada Federal Government • Vehicle safety standards • Fuel consumption regulations • Building and Electrical codes Provincial Governments • On road regulations • Vehicle modification regulations • Building and Electrical codes
Canadian Auto Industry – 2007 data(some downward changes in last 2 years) • Eight largest in the world Light Duty vehicles • 12 assembly plants • Produces 2.5 million annually • Exports 90% - mainly to USA Heavy Duty Vehicles • 25 low volume assembly plants • Produces 74,000 vehicles annually • Exports 86 % - mainly to USA
Canadian Auto Parts Industry • 650 establishments • 92,000 employees • Exports 62% - mainly to USA
Canada’s EV Industry – all modes • 29 companies in vehicle manufacturing and assembling • 25 companies in EV components • 7 distributors • 3 integrators/converters • 5 utilities involved in EV demos • 22 research centre with EV activities
What is a Technology Road Map? A Technology Roadmap (TRM) concept is a consultative process that is designed to help industry, its supply-chain, academic and research groups, and governments come together to jointly identify and prioritize the technologies needed to support strategic R&D, marketing and investment decisions. These technologies will be of critical importance to an industry in the next five to ten years. 14
The Steering Committee CHAIR: VICE-CHAIR:
Roadmap Objectives • Encourage the rapid adoption of EVs for passenger and commercial transport markets in Canada through appropriate regulations, incentives, infrastructure and education/awareness. • Develop the EV industry in Canada in areas where Canada has a competitive advantage. • Power these vehicles with new green electricity.
The Process • Vision meeting – Ottawa – June 26, 2008 • User Needs Meeting – Montreal – Sept 11 • Technology Responses – Vancouver – Nov. 4 • Validation – Toronto – Nov. 25 • Report writing - to August 09
The Vision By 2018, in addition to Hybrid Electric Vehicles, there will be at least 500,000 other highway capable – plug in electric drive vehicles on the road in Canada. These vehicles will have increased Canadian content over current 2008 internal combustion engine vehicles.
Expected Performance of EV’s • To be the same as existing vehicles (including heating and air-conditioning standards) • Environmental performance to be measured by grams of equivalent CO2 per km travelled.
The key recommendations • Make timely and substantial investments in Canadian development and manufacture of EVs and energy storage devices to build on Canada’s already strong presence in these industries. • Consider supplementing federal and provincial mechanisms to promote the development, public acceptance, and procurement of personal and commercial EVs, and also the installation of charging infrastructure. • Reconstitute the Steering Committee as a Roadmap Implementation Committee charged with ensuring that the strategic initiatives identified in the Roadmap are addressed.
Strategic Initiatives flowing from the recommendations • Technology – 4 • Codes, standards, regulations and infrastructure readiness – 5 • Studies and assessments – 10 • Education and outreach - 2
Initiatives deal with: • Financial incentives to early adopters • Financial support to EV industry • Improvements in energy storage • Regulations, Codes and Standards • Converting existing fleets • Grid Capacity and Impacts • New Business Models • Education and Outreach
Gasoline costs compared to battery and electricity costs in two scenarios
Impact on the Electrical Grid • Expected loading – for the vision - will not likely require new generation capacity for 20+ years (charged at night).
Expected evTRM Benefits • Closer collaboration between industry and governments. • Acceptance at highest political levels that EVs make imminent sense for Canada and that Canada has unique assets with which to lead in EV developments. • Acceleration of supportive policies, programs needed. • Canadians become convinced of the merits of EVs. • Reduced emissions and import of fossil fuels.
Timely Implementation is critical • EMC has identified its team for the Implementation Committee. • EMC has identified needed actions, actors, timelines and performance indicators for each of the initiatives. • EMC expects rapid and appropriate response from the Gov’t of Canada and other levels.
Current Status • evTRM officially unveiled Sept 29th. • Copies of report available at www.emc-mec.ca • EMC asked by Gov’t of Canada to submit a proposal to manage the implementation phase. • Work expected to start in late November
Canadian Strengths • Electricity from renewable sources • A growing EV industry coast to coast • Raw materials for batteries
