Energy Density of Batteries vs Petrol 5000kW in three minutes 6000kW in 15seconds
Three phase 32 Amp Industrial 32 Amp single phase 13 Amp Plug Power requirement vs recharge time - 1
Current “Rapid Charge” Zone Power requirement vs recharge time - 2
Activities while recharging Increasing cost of chargers
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Home • Single phase only – 13 or 32 Amp • Smart Meter potential for flexible rate and demand control • Work/Depot/Factory • Office Car parks and transport hubs • 3 phase supplies for larger vehicles – busses, lorries • “Smart” to enable energy billing • Public • Public points starting to be rolled out • Access arrangements • Standardisation • Payment methods • Ownership models
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Public • Public points starting to be rolled out How many posts are needed? Who pays the initial costs? Where best to locate them Normal charging @ 3kw (13amp), or fast charging @ 7kw (32amp)? Public safety and insurance.
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Public • Public points starting to be rolled out • Access arrangements Free parking to encourage electric vehicles? Free electricity? – Long term how does government replace fuel duties? Dedicated spaces – may annoy users of petrol cars Any other incentives – such as no Congestion Charge in London
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Public • Public points starting to be rolled out • Access arrangements • Standardisation Plug and socket arrangements for fast charging Mennekes mode 3
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Public • Public points starting to be rolled out • Access arrangements • Standardisation • Payment methods Free electricity included in parking fee or charge each time? Local or National Schemes Prepayment card, Credit card
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Public • Public points starting to be rolled out • Access arrangements • Standardisation • Payment methods • Ownership models - Interoperability National government or Local government Utility companies, Transport Hubs Parking companies, Supermarkets Independent franchises
Key Infrastructure Requirements • Charging points have the same public demands as public loos: • You would rather not use them, but its good to know they are there. • They need to be in the places that people need them • There has to be just enough - too many is a waste of resources, but not enough is a problem. • If they are closed or not working they are even worse than useless. • Someone has to take ownership and accept the costs even if they are not used – some will be free others will not. • We will accept reasonable costs for their use assuming you have the correct method to access them…….
