What happened?

E-mobility in Prague

E-mobility Today EVs a tiny fraction of the vehicle market Pilot projects in Amsterdam, London,

Munich, Stockholm and USA The dutch government helps private

homes with an EV install the charger Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid already

launched


Prague Today 7th richest region in Europe One of the worst noise levels in Europe Ca. 1.2 m inhabitants big enough for

E-mobility Ca. 1200 diesel busses Pilot project

20 charging points 20 EVs 400 000€ in support from the Prague

region


Part 1: Is E-mobility the Future?


Drivers of E-mobilityPolitical - Dependency on oil

Economic - Rising/Volatile oil prices- New economic opportunities- Cheaper in the long run

Social - Urbanization- Better health

Technological - First mover advantage

Environmental - Emissions reduction- Noise reduction

Legal - Governmental policies


ChallengesEconomical - Need of big investments: Charging

stations, Infrastructure- Government investments needed- Electricity prices may also be

volatile

Technological - Risk of other, better disruptive technologies

- Need of battery-technology development- Need for sound adjustments

Legal - Permits for installing chargers- Appriopriation of private property


Part 2: Experience from Abroad


Sweden Research: Car made by composite material as

both the battery and body of the car Volvo

Artic Whisperer Volvo 7700 Hybrid Bus V60 hybrid Volvo C30


Volvo C30 Volvo V60 Hybrid


Germany Goal: 1M EVs and hybrids by 2020, 0.5M FCVs,

5M by 2030 National Innovation Program: EUR 1.4 billion 2011 legislative: free parking, bus lanes Pilot project in the Stuttgart region RWE public charging infrastructure The Cologne study on grid stability Leader in EU charging standartization process


USA Goal: reduce gas emissions by 83% by 2050

1M EV by 2015 $3 billion to EV and hybrid technologies EV purchase incentives in 23 states

$10M to communities encouraging the shift to EVs San Francisco and California projects Private projects (Walgreens, Ikea,…) Leader in technology innovations Tesla Motors – first car with Lithium-ion battery 4,000 US army electromobiles

Conclusion


The near future Smart meters, but not smart grids Government-driven development

Electric-powered buses Introduction of the incentives programs

Minor changes to the infrastructure Slow expansion of EVs among individual

users


The far future Long term plan implementation Major infrastructure development

Smart grid Induction charging

Boom of EVs among the citizens New business opportunities Major changes to the transportation means

portfolio and the way people travel Cleaner, quieter city


Thank you for your attention!
