Why All-Electric Vehicles?• Reduce
– fuel cost - $4/gal vs. 10 cents/kwh – $300 billion balance of payments deficit– energy security problems – excess consumption of energy
• efficiency -IC engine 20%, electric motor 90%– GHG emissions– criteria pollutants– maintenance expense
• IC engine system 1400 parts , electric motor/battery system, 200 parts
• No new infrastructure is required for fleet vehicles
Why Focus on Fleet Vehicles?
• An estimated 107 million light and medium duty vans, trucks, school buses and shuttle buses can be repowered
• Millions of transit buses, heavy duty trucks, tractors and similar vehicle can be repowered.
• Fleet vehicles are major consumers of diesel fuel and pollution and GHG emitters
• High mileage fleet vehicles have reduced operation and maintenance cost to offset initial incremental cost
• Low mileage fleet vehicles have the potential to earn supplemental income providing frequency regulation services to the grid

– Millions of people are bused to work– AT&T, Verizon, FedEx. Fresh Direct and others operate
thousands of fleet vehicles– NY/NJ Port Authority airports and marine ports operate, or
are served by, thousands of shuttle buses, vans, short haul heavy duty trucks and tractors
– Hunts Point Food Market is served by thousands of trucks and vans
– Utilities operates large fleets of maintenance vans and trucks
– In Manhattan alone it is estimated that there are 100,000 freight deliveries each day

Port Vehicle Statistics
• Port of Los Angeles Trucks– 1,200,000 trips per year– 50% idle time– Have acquired 25 all-electric trucks
• Port Authority of NY/NJ– 1,500,000 trips per year– 5,300,000 hours of idle time– 50,000 miles per trip

Where’s the Beef
• Port of LA’s 25 all-electric trucks saves 500,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year
• Achieving the same savings would require about 150 delivery trucks, or 1,200 Leaf passenger vehicles and building a charging station infrastructure.
