Why Electric Transportation?

The nation has an oil problem

– U.S. is refining more oil than it has, and consumes even more

The current high oil prices reflect the increasing global demand for a limited energy resource: China is number 2 in oil use and India is 6th…and growing

Oil is predominately a transportation energy problem, with economic, environmental, and geopolitical concerns for the nation

Oil is an energy security issue

Reliance on domestic oil is not sustainable, we cannot drill our way out of the problem

Even optimistic projections leave us heavily dependent on foreign oil

Electric Vehicles are Part of the Government-Industry Partnership Advanced Propulsion Portfolio Vision Portfolio approach as there is no clear winner Likely, the U.S. solution with include a mix of technologies with multiple fuel sources

(electricity, biofuels, alternative fuels, etc.)

The Main Concepts in Simple Terms

HEV: Hybrid electric vehicle (Ford Escape, Toyota Prius)– Small battery, gets recharged from regenerative breaking; very limited all-electric range

– No plug

PHEV: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle– Larger battery; gets charged by plugging I

– Different drivetrain configurations

• Series: ICE turns generator which charges battery which runs electric motor (Chevy Volt)

• Parallel: ICE and electric motor both run the car simultaneously (Honda Insight)

• Mix

E-REV: Extended Range Electric Vehicle– A PHEV with a bigger battery for driving ranges of 40-60+ miles using only the battery (all-

electric driving); after which the gas engine starts

BEV: Battery Electric Vehicles– Pure electric vehicles; only has an electric drivetrain

– When your out of battery, you are out of battery

Different Ways of Controlling/Operating PHEVs Engines/Batteries

Blended Modes (conventional engine cycles on/off fairly frequently)

All-Electric Modes (conventional engine stays off for an extended period of time until the battery charge reaches a certain level; then starts up)

SOC: State of Charge (Battery)

Increases in Powertrain Cost are Not the Only Cost Increases that Consumers May Need to Pay Chargers and cord and connector between vehicle and plus Charging Circuit Upgrades or Installation

– If you want faster charging, you will need an upgrade

– Level 1: Your standard circuit (110V, 20Amps, 1.1 KW)

– Level 2: Upgraded circuit (220V, 15 Amps, 3.3 kW)

How do We Use Vehicles?

PHEVs with an all-electric-range (AER) of 20 Miles could cover about 40% of daily Vehicles-Miles-Traveled (VMT) on electricity

PHEVs with a 30-Mile AER could cover about 55% of Daily VMTs

Utilities see PHEV Smart-Charging as Critical for Success

Impact of PEVs on the 2020 Summer Load of Southern California Electric Power Grid– Peak power will increase

substantially without management

Optimal management requires smart grids and smart vehicles

Local circuits (blocks and neighborhoods) must be protected from overload– Transformers need cooling

periods at night

– Lifetime may be reduced

Consumer education and pricing policy will be key enablers

V2G: Vehicles could be an Active Component of the Future Grid

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is a PHEV equipped with a communications interface– Control signals are sent from the grid operator to manage the flow of energy between the

vehicle and the grid

• Changing charging rate; reversing the flow of energy to feed back to the grid depending on a variety of factors including current grid load, current amount of renewable generation, state of charge of the vehicle, and real-time energy pricing

– Direct load control (similar to AC programs)

With true bi-directional flow capability, vehicles could provide ancillary grid services– Frequency control, regulation and spinning reserves

– Help penetration of intermittent renewable energy generation resources (solar and wind)

Another option is Vehicle-to-House (V2H)– Plug-in vehicles treated as power generation resource along with solar or wind power, and

controlled directly by an energy management system which controls the energy load at the home or business

Some issues– Automakers want dumb charging (KISS), utilities want smart charging

– Distribution system not built for bi-directional flows; will need infrastructure investments

– Communication infrastructure would have to be developed

– Effect of increased grid-controlled cycling on battery life time

Summary

PHEVs can play a substantial role in reducing our petroleum consumption GHG emission reductions related to PHEV depend heavily on the energy/power mix,

the vehicle configuration, and the choice of technology Smart-infrastructure is critical to manage the additional load on the grid PHEVs/EVs may facilitate the use of large penetration of variable, renewable

resources Keep it simple for the consumer
