The Growing PEV Market

Benefits of Workplace Charging • Provides PEV drivers

convenient and reliable refueling away from home

• Increases electric miles driven by employees

• Provides drivers with flexibility

• Creates local PEV showroom for information sharing

• Fills important element of California’s charging network

Why Install Workplace Charging?

• Recruit and retain employees

• Green your image

• Improved commute – increased employee productivity

• Help comply with local air quality and transportation policies

• LEED points toward certification

Residential Charging Equipment AC Level 1

• Uses a standard 110/120-volt alternating current (VAC) three-pronged wall plug

AC Level 2

• Uses 208/240 VAC and can be hardwired or connected with a plug, but typically requires a contractor

DC Fast Charging

• Uses commercial-grade 440 /480 VAC – produces direct current (DC) to charge

• Commercial/Public – due to costs

• Provides fast charge for some BEVs

How Quickly Will it Charge?

How to install and implement workplace charging

Step 1: Research Options and Develop a Plan

• Review key workplace charging resources

• Survey employees to determine current and future interest in PEV charging

• If you lease, talk to landlord or facility managers to obtain permission to install charging

• Evaluate electrical connections

• Create a budget

• Contact local utility for available rate options

• Explore any available incentives or tax credits

• Plan for future growth

Step 2: Choose a System and Assess Costs

• Charger options

- Level 1? Level 2?

- How many?

- What capabilities?

- Where will it be installed?

Step 2: Choose a System and Assess Costs

Step 3: Create and Follow an Installation Checklist

Contact equipment suppliers

Hire contractor(s)

Pull all necessary permits

Install charging

equipment

Conduct a site

assessment

Check compliance with ADA

Estimate electrical

load

Coordinate with local

utility

22

Level of Access

Public or Private Access

Combine with fleet use

Priority

EVs vs. PHEVs

Employees and Guest

Fleet vehicles

System Optimization

Integrate DG

Consider total building load

Vehicle - Building – Grid

(V2G)

Payment options

$/h, $kWh

Flat monthly rate

Free

Step 4: Establish Internal Procedures

Key Considerations

• Plan for growth

– Usually more use than expected

• Etiquette

– Employees should have clear rules about etiquette

• Dedicate staff

– An employee is usually needed to manage the chargers and employee use

EVSE Case Study

Thomas Piette, Supervising Architect, Sustainability Unit

Thomas.piette@dgs.ca.gov October 9, 2014

4,000+ employees statewide, $1B budget • Fleet administration • Project management & real estate services • Architectural and engineering design • Legal services • Division of the State Architect (access

compliance) • Green &sustainability projects • Procurement services

DGS assists in the implementation of EO’s

EO B-16-12: sets specific goals for ZEV

vehicles & State fleets

EO B-18-12: sets specific goals for buildings, including electric vehicle charging

DGS –EVSE-Leading by example

DGS has 22 BEVs and 26 PHEVs in the fleet

63 EVSE installed in Sacramento - CEC grants

$2M Interagency Agreement through the CEC

Developing expertise in EVSE in order to offer

design services to other State agencies

Involved with the policy formation for EVSE

Member of the ZEV Action Plan Working Group

Publications

Developed by the Governor’s Office of Planning & Research Collaboration of 40+ experts 176 pages, released Fall of 2013 Available for download at: http://opr.ca.gov/docs/ZEV_Guidebook.pdf Wealth of information for ZEVs

Community Readiness Guidebook

Three main sections:

Background information on ZEVs

Recommendations for local communities

Practical tools & templates

DGS Guidance Document DGS created the EVSE GUIDANCE DOCUMENT to complement the ZEV Community Readiness Guidebook

DGS Guidance Document

Augments the public oriented ZEV Community Readiness Guidebook

Expands information about EVSE

More specific to state government

Outlines requirements for state agencies

Available on the DGS Green California Website : http://www.green.ca.gov/Transportation.aspx

Procurement of EVSE Statewide contract for basic EVSE in place

Upcoming contract for smart EVSE Includes: Purchasing of the EVSE, networking services, maintenance

Available for state and participating local government agencies

Policy Formation Allow time for the formation of policies!

Centralized or decentralized control of the EVSE DGS centralized statewide locations through fleet

Collecting fees or free charging DGS started with free charging; July 1, 2014 switched to $1.15/hour

Setting the fee level and where the money goes DGS fees include electricity cost, maintenance, EVSE network costs, personnel costs (but not installation)

Dept. of Finance required specialized fee collection

Policy Formation Time limits at the EVSE

DGS set a 4 hour limit

Encourages vehicle rotation

Allows more cars to charge

Incentivizing ZEVs at state facilities DGS discounted monthly Parking fees

DGS raises priority of ZEV drivers on waiting lists

Result of the policies Lowered demand of EVSE by over 50%

Controversy on the waiting list

Provides more access for the “must charge” drivers

Reduces peak demand for electricity

Networking Issues

Smart EVSE require ongoing networking services

Membership for a brand of EVSE

Choice between proprietary and open source DGS chose OCPP open source

Government agencies usually avoid proprietary due the “sole source” issues

Decide who manages the networking and fee collection DGS centralized the function with the DGS Fleet

Access Compliance for EVSE

Public agencies must provide services in an accessible manner, including EVSE

Standards for EVSE are not yet specific to the technology

Division of the State Architect has formed a working group to develop guidelines for EVSE accessibility

DGS may likely co-locate at least one EVSE with an existing accessible parking stall

Planning & Installation Infrastructure is highly variable, evaluate before budgeting

Best locations are: close proximity to the electrical panels, convenient for drivers & accessible

Employ EVSE knowledgeable electrical engineers & contractors

Plan and design with expansion in mind

Lessons Learned Start early! Budgeting, evaluation, design,

bidding and installation could take 6 to 24 months

Allow time for policy development regarding fees, placement, EVSE management, procurement, time limits and enforcement

Evaluate the infrastructure before budgeting

Lessons Learned

Consider accessibility in your design and placement

Design for expansion

Enlighten the decision makers about this new technology

Inform the employees about the EVSE so they are encouraged to buy or lease ZEVs

Watch the CA Energy Commission announcements for funding opportunities

Electric Vehicle Charging

• Started with level 1 (110V outlets)

electric vehicle chargers – offered

free of charge

• In 2013, a corporate policy was

issued not to provide power free of

charge.

• In an effort to comply and to get on

the EVC map, Disneyland Resort

installed 30 ‘networked’ electric

vehicle chargers for Guest & Cast.

• There are additional plans for

electric vehicle charging expansion

to include resort-wide coverage.

Existing EVCs Planned EVCs

Developing an EVC Strategy

• Focused on cost effective

installation sites for maximum

impact.

• Used demand analysis and pricing

strategies to manage EVC supply

& demand and pro forma

development

• Developed a communication /

signage strategy

• Developed a low touch

operational and maintenance plan.

• Developed contingency plans for

the unforeseen.

Post Implementation Observations

• After 6 months of utilization,

Cast (employee) electric

vehicle chargers are high

utilization

• Currently, we have over 80

registered users

• Avg daily sessions: 1.5/charger

• Avg peak hour utilization rate is

about 80%.

• The average charge (plug-in)

time is 6.5 hours, with a 2.5

actual charge time.

• Avg KWh/vehicle is 8.12

Resources – Grants and Incentives • Bay Area AQMD: Approx. $12 million over next 2 years

– PEV Rebate Program for Public Agencies – Open

– PEV Infrastructure/Chargers – Nov/Dec 2014
