Future Electric • Car clubs, electric vehicles, and the wider low carbon agenda • The Current Issues • The solutions • The specifics • The role of FTS
Electric Car Clubs • Joining behaviour change and new technology • Engagement beyond sustainable transport • Energy storage and distribution • Renewable energy • Communications advances
Current Issues • None are insurmountable! • Down Time • Ease of Use • Charging Infrastructure • Availability (and cost) of suitable vehicles
Solutions • Technology – mapping, understanding behaviour, education of members • Collaboration to make it happen • TSB project – providing the vehicles • FTS – distributing the vehicles • Option C – the car club • Council, region, central government – supporting the infrastructure
Solutions • TSB – Electric Vehicle Accelerated Development in the North East • R+D – battery performance and user perception • Emissions • Trip planning • Behaviour change • Infrastructure Development • ETI, Joined Cities, OLEV, DfT Cenex
Specifics • Location of Infrastructure + • Location of Car Club bays = • Sustainable transport hubs • Highly visible • Ease range anxiety • Change the relationship with vehicles
Optimal Charging Point Placement • City, region, national • Synergy of car clubs with EV development • Fast Charging + national integration of car clubs
Conclusions • Electric cars are coming • Established best use for them • Obvious synergy with car clubs • More benefits together than either on their own
