National procurement of Electric Vehicles.
Experiences regarding infrastructure development.
Eva Sunnerstedt
City of Stockholm
Electric Vehicles are here!
• Fun to drive!• EVs are much appreciated
by their drivers!• The ordinary parking place of the
EV is most important charging place
• Nice NOT to have to drive to a filling station
• Public Charging makes the EV driver feel more secure
• Less range anxiety• Visibility for EVs

Clean Vehicles and Fuels Strategy
• EVs• Public Charing Infrastructure• Incentives• Knowledge
Electric Vehicles
• EVs in City fleet:– 70 EVs (of tot. 780)– Approx. 20 more this year– One demo car– Goal: 9 % EVs in own fleet 2014
increase of 1 % / year = 10 % 2015
• EVs car sharing• Electric Vehicles procurement• CCC with one EV• Demo of consolidation of goods with
EVs in city centre end of 2014

Why an EV procurement?
Make sure EVs and PHEVs come to Sweden
– Cleaner and quieter vehicles
Simple and easy to purchase an EV or PHEV
– Savings of costs and time for public entities
Test fleet of 50 vehicles
400 participating organisations
Funding for the additional cost of the car of 100 000 SEK/ vehicle for 600 vehicles

Joint Procurement of EVs and PHEVs in Sweden - Case StudyRead more about the procurement:
EVs from the EV procurement in operation all over the country!
Evaluation of all EVs and PHEVs in operation
Evaluation of 350 vehicles on going!• Municipalities and municipal owned
companies• Renault Kangoo the most wanted
vehicles so far
• 1,25 miljon electric km: 2011-2013• The vehicles work very well• Happy drivers and fleet managers
Happy EV-drivers!
• Surveys from the summer of 2011, 2012 and 2013
• 85% recommend others to get EVs• 78 % more positive now than
before using an EV• 33 % would consider buying an EV
for private usage• 87 % content with how the charging
works• 62 % can charge and EV at home• The number of driver that regard
range problematic has decreased
EV development in Sweden (April 2014)
• Large growth from 2012– Even larger in 2014?
• PHEV to Sweden during 2013 and 2014
• The national EV procurement was 25 % of all new EVs in 2012

Drivers experiences
Range anxiety?
Yes and No!
Initially yes – but much depending on introduction and information
– Where the EV is placed– Communication with the driver
Wikipedia: Range anxiety is the fear that a vehicle has insufficient range to reach its destination and would thus strand the vehicle's occupants.
Increased usage of the vehicles
Test driving is important
Winter and cold out door temperature have negative impact on range
– Heating (& cooling)
Drivers experiences
Drivers experiences
Charging behaviour– Charing at the EVs ordinary parking
place = 98 % of the charging• Little need for public charging
(mainly vehicles in organisations)
• Initial interest to experiment….• Different users – different
routines
Driving behaviour– Range is affected by way of driving– Driver need to pay attention
How to cure range anxiety?!
Drive an EV!!! – Test driving, test cars – The more experience the less
anxiety
Public Charing Infrastructure?!
Make sure you place the EV where it can make good use
Introduction for the drivers
In severe cases of range anxiety a PHEV is recommended.
• All public charging units in Sweden
– Address– Type of
charging– How to get
access• Key• RFID• SMS

• Normal Charging• 350 charging units at 45 different
locations• Stockholm Parkering AB• 100 new additional units in 2014
• 10 in place• 40 decided and soon to put up
• Fast Charging• 5 fast chargers in Stockholm City (8 in
the county)• 10 new stations 2014• Interest from private sector
• First one inaugurated in February• Two more decided , soon put up
• Wallbox

• Contact the garage owner!
• Stockholm Parkering AB
– This is where most new charging facilities are put up in Stockholm
– Private EV owners and companies/offices.

Charging at the ordinary parking place of the EV – normal charging over night
Incentives we would like to have
• Reduced parking• Reduces congestion
charging tax
• Obligations when building a new garage or parking space.
Knowledge and experiences
• Demonstrations and evaluations
• Data collection• Meetings, workshops,
seminars• News and web-sites• www.miljofordon.se
Lessons learnt
Vehicle procurement Sweden got access to EVs early in
Europe. We put Sweden on the EV-map Prequalification was good
Difficult for the car industry to follow the
tendering process Several disqualified bidders
Infrastructure Most important at the EVs ordinary
parking place No clear business model for public
charging Drivers like NOT going to a filling station
