The Future of the Electric Vehicle: Government’s Role.The Spanish Caseby Imma Puig-Simon VI Energy Forum Sopot, 28-30 November 2011
Index I. Electric Vehicle: A “déjà vu”? II. Strong Momentum Building III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case IV. Challenges Ahead
I. Electric Vehicle: A “déjà vu”? Electric Vehicles (EV) as early as the first half of 19th Century, even before the appearance of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEV). But failure to crack ICE monopoly… • Limited range. • Higher cost (more expensive than conventional cars). • Cheap oil. • Cheap mass production of ICE cars. • Short-lived periods of interested consumers and producers. Now, things are different: A momentum is building for the EV success, including Battery EV (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV).

II. Strong Momentum Building Economics perspective: Mobility as a major driver of economic growth and social development. Need to improve road transport efficiency. Energy Perspective: Oil prices high and volatile. Need to reduce energy dependency (95% of road transport depends on fossil fuels (i.e. 47% of total worldwide petroleum consumption). Environmental Perspective: Highly polluted cities. Need to improve air quality in our cities (transport accounts for 28% of CO2 emissions in Europe, mainly GHG). Sociological Perspective: People accept “green cars”. Need to facilitate people’s knowledge about EV. Industry Perspective: Importance of automobile industry. Need to improve technology advances to make easier the transition to electrified transport society. Politics Perspective: International Commitments (i.e. EU Climate and Energy Package for 2020). National Governments need to achieve the established objectives.

III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE PROMOTION ACTION PLAN 2010 - 2012 ACTION PLAN 2012 - 2014
III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case. COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE PROMOTION
III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case How Spain will meet the 250.000 EV target? 4 lines of action:
III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case Action Plan 2010 -2012: Movele Plan. Target 70.000 EV (20.000 in 2011 & 50.000 in 2012) and mobilization of public resources (590 M€). Monitoring results: Highlights. Line 1: Fostering demand (4) Action 01 – Subsidies (1,823 EV). Extended until December 2012. Action 02 – EU Directive 2009/33 transposition: arts. 105 and 106 LES (39 demands for EV public firms, 11% vs 18%e). Action 03 – Analyses of potential fleets (60.000 by 2014). Action 04 – Urban benefits of EV use (IDAE’s Guide www.movele.es) and MOVELE cities hallmark (IDAE-FEMP).
III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case (…) Monitoring results Line 2: Industrialization and RDI (3) Action 05 – EV Dev’t and Industrialization Programs (41 projects, 100M€). Action 06 – ICT related to EV Support Programs (Avanza 2009-10: 12 projects, nearly 10M€; 35M€ for 2011-12). Action 07 – EV priority in RDI lines. Suport > 175M€. Line 3: Infrastructure and Energy Management (4) Action 08 – Agreement with GENCOS. No signature but working group. Action 09 – New “super-valley” tariff for off-peak electricity consumption. Action 10 – Intelligent Electricity Meter (time discrimination). Mandatory for Electricity Companies. Action 11 – Legal framework for EV Recharge Services (RD 647/2011: definition. 2 petitions). Action ## – Infrastructure Support. Co-operation agreements between IDAE and CCAA (9/17). Currently: 601 recharge stations distributed in 64 cities.
III. Government’s Role: The Spanish Case (…) Monitoring results Line 4: Transverse Measures (4) Action 12 – Strategic Marketing and Institutional Communications: specific brand, website, campaigns in sports events (tour 2011), fleet campaign, etc… Action 13 – Standardization of the recharge infrastructure elements. Participation at EU level. Action 14 – Standardization and Approval of EV and its components. Identifying barriers. Spain works within the UN framework. Action 15 – EV Related Education. Creating an education and training catalogue (WG in Foreve), some executive education and EV Engineering Masters Degree.

IV. Challenges Ahead Nothing surprising… • Market Acceptance • Affordability • Technical viability • Charging infrastructure availability • Electricity generation capacity • Technology and product harmonization
