Background of the project
The transport sector is globally growing and has the strongest reliance on fossil fuels from all economic sectors
GHG emissions from transport increased by 26% from 1990-2006 (in Europe) Worldwide transport is responsible for 25% of energy-related CO2-Emissions European Target – 80% CO2 reduction by 2050 compared to 1990
thus oil consumption in the transport sector must drop by around 70% from today
Expected development (globally) 2009: 6,8 billion people, 700 million passenger vehicles
2050: 9 billion people, 3 billion passenger vehicles
Mitigation of fuel-dependency and CO2-Emissions possible with Electric Vehicles?
Co-Evolution of transport sector and energy sector provides opportunities for developing Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources and Electric Vehicles
Energy systems and transport characteristics differ around the world→ need for regional perspectives

Cars are most important for passenger traffic and will most likely stay so Europe and North America rely mainly on private cars
for passenger transport
Importance of vehicles is mirrored in available infrastructure (Annex A13) Further increase in traffic expected for the European Union
Passenger traffic activity + 51%, 2005 – 2050 Reasons:

Benefits regarding GHG emissions strongly depend on the regional electricity mix EVs considered as low- or no-emission-vehicles
Technically this depends on the electricity mix
EVs powered by coal-fired power plants emit >800gCO2/ km
Nighttime charging can result in both increasing the share of RES-E and in increasing the share of fossil base-load electricity and thus in higher emissions
Emissions of EVs are 50% of ICEVs’ with current European electricity mix
Emissions of EVs are 89-74% of ICEVs’ with current USA electricity mix GHG emissions lower in Canada (2006 data)
because of higher proportion of RES-E (depending on province)
Using RES-E, GHG emissions could be reduced to 75%-38% of ICEVs’ to which the new CAFE standards of 35.5 mpg by 2016 apply.

In China the high share of coal-based electricity in the grid increases EVs’ emissions above those from conventional ICEVs (2010 data)
The electricity mix in the more densely populated southern and eastern China decreases EVs’ emissions below conventional values
The northern regions that today have the highest emission values have large unconnected wind resources

General transport sector emissions policies influence also the deployment of electric vehicles GHG emissions are taken into account through
taxation in many European countries (map)(Dark Blue: more than one taxation scheme, Light Blue: one kind of CO2-tax)
and in China Tax benefits from this taxation reduce impact of
cost-difference compared with conventional cars
No taxation of GHG emissions of passenger vehicles in North America
Elevated electricity costs in Nordic countries Influence the economical viability of EVs
Variety of policies regarding future of transport Shift of commodities to rail and inland navigation
Increase of public transport
Holistic approach provides less secure framework for investments
Context – Electric Vehicles – Economic Influence
www.iea-retd.org 20
Societal change drives the deployment of electric vehicles Urbanization
Urban areas experience most traffic problems
High population density in urban areas warrants investments in infrastructure
Urban population tends to early adoption of new technologies So far the number of EVs (per head) is biggest in cities
But:
Charging infrastructure faces competition for space
Immigration and labor mobility Increase mobility needs
Customer acceptance of new mobility patterns,of the look, space and performance of EVs

The sustainability of the deployment of electric vehicles has to be taken into account for devising support policies!
www.iea-retd.org 22
The availability of charging infrastructure is a basic requirement for electric vehicle deployment Security aspect for users
Necessary for widespread EV usage Quick-charging is now being implemented
in the Nordic European countries April 12, 2011 Denmark's first quick charge station
opened (max. 20 minutes for 80 % SOC)
2 stations have been build in the Oslo area in Norway
Battery swapping stations will be built in Denmark(Figure: Projection for 2012)
In China all three charging technologies are/ will be tested
Some pilot cities have already published standards
Slow charging and battery swapping are preferred by grid companies
No governmental preferences yet
Context – Electric Vehicles – Drivers
www.iea-retd.org
Diverse climate conditions All three regions encompass various climate zones with cold winters in the north
and humid and hot summers in the south These climatic differences will lead to different battery lifetime and vehicle availability
Landscape and road conditions vary
Areas with low population density increase infrastructural costs for widespread deployment
Midwestern America, western and northern China, northern Europe For first usage in cities population density is not an issue
Ageing population in North America and Europe Ageing people remain increasingly mobile and thus cause more traffic
An increasing share of governmental funds has to be dedicated to care Funding for new technologies becomes more difficult
Electric vehicles do not meet with favorable conditions everywhere

Context – Challenges for EVs
www.iea-retd.org 24
Complementary use rather than replacing conventional vehicles Electric vehicles are typically second cars
Commuting Germany: most commuting distances are 80 km or under
This is absolutely within EVs range
Inner-City-Traffic Reduction of local emissions
Noise
Green House Gases and Particles
Short distances, stop and go
Integration into Car-Sharing programs No individual perception of purchase costs

User Behavior
EV users are early adopters or members of public organizations Early adopters are older, educated, interested in technology and enjoy being early
adopters
Willingness to plug-in may depend on business models Interest in earnings through delayed charging vs.
concerns about availability of the EV
V2G services only of interest if a benefit is perceived Preference for home charging
(90% in Northern Europe, 70% in Western Europe)
Consumers value environmental performance, but they value other attributes more.
Context – Electric Vehicles – Users
www.iea-retd.org
User concerns
High initial investment Users today are more willing to take TCO
into account for purchasing decisions
Price EVs cost at least ¥ 20,000 more than ICEVs
of same performance
40% of consumers that avoid purchasing a hybrid do so due to cost. Only 10% of non-hybrid consumers avoid a purchase due to cost.
Nordic countries: Prices on EVs (free from registration charge) coming close to those of conventional cars (including charge).EV family cars start at € 65,000 in Norway

Standardization of infrastructure and vehicle characteristics is urgently needed Some general vehicle standards for safety specifications, general design specifications
and emission testing also apply to electric vehicles
Standardized Plug needed urgently Wider harmonization needed, parallel systems exist today
Mennekes plug is harmonized between France and Germany
Scame plug is supported by French-Italian alliance
Yazaki is standard plug in the USA
Chinese pilot cities have started issuing their own standards for charging infrastructure
Need for standards on Number of phases for charging (1 or 3)

Context – Electric Vehicles – Standardization
www.iea-retd.org 34
Safety standards are especially important
Differing vehicle standards between the USA and Canada (involving bumpers, seat belts, side door strength, metric indicators, etc.).
To be harmonized by 2012
There is a need for nation-wide harmonized standards for after-market ICE vehicle conversion.
Safety of plugs and the charging process is a concern besides design, number of phases & voltage level for charging
Pure electric vehicles from independent manufacturers may not be as equipped for safety as modern cars are(airbag, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control etc.)

The lack of standards makes long-term planning difficult for vehicle and infrastructure manufacturers No coordinated effort between car-making markets in terms of regulation
(regarding emissions standards which were agreed on in Europe & China or the type of technologies to support) yet.
Makes planning effectively for the long term difficult for auto-makers Can be somewhat mitigated by technology-sharing agreements between
companies Hinders large-scale deployment
(i.e. Chevrolet intends to produce only 10,000 units of the Volt in its first year of production in the United States).
No political will to implement high fuel taxes to stimulate the greatest advances in vehicle efficiency and alternative vehicles
Increasingly strict fuel efficiency standards are a good first step
Context – Electric Vehicles – Regulatory Barriers

The densely populated demand centers are far away from renewable resources in China
Energy resources – and power production – are located far from the demand areas.
Wind and other renewable energies could directly charge EVs (or swapped batteries) in both northern China as well as in southwestern China where transport of liquid fuels is inconvenient
Given the low economic development status of these areas, it is likely that low-tech, low-speed, low-cost EVs will be more accepted there.
Low-cost EVs use lead-acid batteries which are increasingly causing pollution problems in rural China.

Co-Evolution – General Requirements
www.iea-retd.org
Both RES-E production and EV deployment rely on electricity grids Grids need to be sufficiently stable and/ or expanded for accommodating
New centralized (off-shore/ on-shore wind) and distributed (solar PV, micro-wind, etc.) production
Preference for centralized RES-E production means more attention on transmission grids. Security of supply is seen as more important than increasing the share of RES-E.
Additional distributed load Battery swapping stations could stabilize and centralize demand A preference for home charging means increased (distributed) household-load
Opportunities for high penetration of EVs Regulated charging
For better capacity utilization
For taking stress off the distribution grid (assets)
Storage of RES-E Increase share of RES-E
Provide reserve power for grid
Stabilize feed-in from volatile sources58

Co-Evolution – Impact on power generation
This Assessment only considers global values. Results can differ for local grids. Distribution grids in urban areas may experience overloads of assets first.
For average European grids up to 40% EV penetration does not create problems
For Beijing, 100% EV commuting could not be sustainedDetails in Annex A11
www.iea-retd.org
Chinese and North American grids may be first to have problems with rising EV penetration Chinese grids are already now straining to keep up with the increased
demand due to the rapid economic growth Power shortages, especially in the densely populated areas, have to be expected
30-60% difference in electricity demand between peak times and base load leaves room for off-peak EV charging
Investments in North American grids have decreased over the years Grid assets are old
Local distribution grids may not have the strength to supply EVs
Challenges increase with rising penetration Quick-charge at peak hours has the highest possible impact on grids and power
generation capacity Daytime charging may require upgrades in local distribution systems

Regulated charging is expected to prevent impact on base load power plants61
Co-Evolution – Impact on power generation
www.iea-retd.org 62
Renewable electricity and electric vehicles affect the stability of transmission and distribution grids Integration of distributed RES-E production and EVs influences stability of
distribution grids Communication infrastructure needed for controlled charging
Integration of large RES-E plants increases stress on transportation grids Expected increase of off-shore wind power is a challenge
European and especially Nordic grids are well designed and prepared for transporting RES-E
Modernizing and increasing the strength and flexibility in the grid will take place also without the expected increase of EVs.
Chinese grids will be strengthened with building extra high voltage transmission capacity
Grid expansion in North America is costly – especially for transmission infrastructure
Distributed generation with local grid reinforcement is a good first step Exploitation of resource-rich regions will be necessary for significant replacement
of fossil fuels (northern Canada (wind), western US deserts (sun), offshore wind).
Co-Evolution – Impact on grids
www.iea-retd.org
The impact on grids and power production depends on time and method of charging Slow charging and Battery swapping are preferred by DSOs
Both methods spread the load over a longer period The centralized storage capacity of battery swapping stations makes them interesting for
ancillary services and demand response
Fast Charging has highest potential to destabilize the grid
Time of Charging impact Daytime, especially peak time charging will most likely result in overload in assets,
especially in urban regions (demand centers, high population and vehicle density) Nighttime charging:
The grid has transmission and distribution capacity available The use of “spinning reserve” on the grid may become more efficient RES-E that otherwise would not be fed in can be used increased use of base load power plants possible
greater coal consumption increase in GHG-emissions
Charging strategies for smart grids may focus on using RES-E for charging
63
Co-Evolution – Impact on Infrastructure
www.iea-retd.org
Possible strategies: Preference for charging with RES-E
EVs (+ smart charging) canincrease uptake of RES-E
Smart charging makes volatile RES-E a better business case
Charging in load valleys (with RES-E) Price difference of 0.6 ¥/ kWh
An accounting system and charging infrastructure are now being built in the Nordic Countries.
Smart meters are put up as part of the "Introduction package" offered by "Better Place".
Smart meters are already installed in large scale in Sweden and Norway

Increased robustness and transmission efficiency are needed for a rising penetration of RES-E and EVs. To guarantee the frequency and voltage stability of the grid some simple regulations can be implemented in EVs.
Regulated charging can avoid overloads of assets. Automatic power distribution is the foundation of distribution of power according to demand.
Additional spinning reserve guarantees the balance of the grid. Strong Smart Grid manages the impact of RES-E and EVs and optimizes the demand satisfaction
Special strategies during fault times support the fast stabilization of the grid.

An accounting system and charging infrastructure are obligated as soon as possible. Both are currently being built in Nordic Countries.
To control the vehicles a communication infrastructure has to be established.
To provide V2G services more communication signals are required. With rising penetration of EV and RES-E, more charging/swapping infrastructure is needed.
A bidirectional power connection is required to earn revenue for the vehicle owner.

Phase 2Deployment
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Two-phase long-term policy approach needed for large scale Co-Evolution of EVs and RES-E
78
Phase 1Market Preparation
www.iea-retd.org
Regulatory framework
Emission targets for electricity production and vehicle fleets warrant other support policies
Targets for the deployment of electric vehicles are an incentive for first deployments
Standards for vehicles and infrastructure provide security for manufacturers
ConsequenceLegitimate base for further policies Opposition from the people (North America)
Feasibility Feasible in all regions Emission targets are more easily implemented for electricity
than for existing vehicle fleets Standards have to be based on technological consideration and have to be
implemented quickly 79
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 1
www.iea-retd.org
Build-up of infrastructure
Governments support Electric Vehicles by building up charging infrastructure
ConsequenceGood network possible also for rural areas Costs for society
Feasibility May be feasible in China Highly unlikely in Europe and North America
However, subsidies for the construction of new charging infrastructure are feasible
80
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 1
www.iea-retd.org
Coupling Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles
Hard Coupling Electricity for charging electric vehicles is coupled to the absolute additional RES-E share in
the electricity mix
Cap and Trade Electricity production or the deployment of vehicles have to fulfill emission targets (cap) Any additional demand for electricity or additional deployment of vehicles has to be provided
from carbon-neutral sources or has to be compensated by GHG emissions reduction measures applied to other emitters that are part of the system (trade)
Manufacturers’ investments in RES-E Vehicle manufacturers can count their electric vehicles as zero-emission vehicles if they
finance new RES-E production
Grid Stabilization Bonus System Operators pay this bonus for plugged-in electric vehicles that can either provide
demand side management or ancillary services
Tax Exemptions for Charging RES-E Electric vehicles are only eligible for tax exemptions if they charge RES-E
Re-Investing electricity tax from charging current
81
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
www.iea-retd.org
Tax Exemptions for Charging RES-E
Vehicles are eligible for tax exemptions if they charge RES-E Exemptions from annual vehicle/ motor/ circulation taxes
Consequence Additional RES-ECost benefits for EV owners as an incentive
Increased willingness to plug in?
Costs Advanced billing system and separate metering needed
Feasibility Feasible for low penetrations of EVs. Phase-out for higher penetrations EV owners have to be able to exclusively charge RES-E
Feasible in all regions
82
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 1
www.iea-retd.org
Re-Investing Electricity Tax
The electricity tax from the traction current is invested in additional RES-E
Consequence Additional RES-E Special electricity tariff/ separate metering for EVs needed Market distortion in deregulated markets
Feasibility Feasible in all regions In North America this option might be possible only within one interconnection-area
83
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 1
www.iea-retd.org
Hard Coupling
Coupling electricity for EVs and absolute RES-E Targets Additional EVs have to be met with additional RES-E capacity
ConsequenceEVs powered by pure additional RES-E Costs (user & society)
Feasibility Unlikely for North America, because profitability is key for public acceptance of both
EVs and RES-E Feasible for Europe but concerns exist that this option may slow down
EV or RES-E deployment In China – based on policies until today – this option is unlikely.
However, if RES-E production is increased significantly and charging business models are set up, Hard Coupling may become feasible
84
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 1
www.iea-retd.org
Manufacturers‘ investments in RES-E
EVs are considered Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) in return for investments in renewable electricity
OEMs invest in additional renewable electricity production (depending on MJ/km per sold EV)
DSOs invest energy tax for traction current in additional RES-E
ConsequenceAdditional RES-E Can lead to more emissions from ICEVs – Coupling to fleet emission standards! Conflicts of interests possible
Feasibility Feasible in Europe, has to be introduced for all countries The vertically integrated electricity markets in China and North America may
impede implementation (if OEMs are new players in the market)
85
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 1
www.iea-retd.org
Cap and Trade
A Cap and Trade system for fleet emissions per vehicle manufacturer Comparable to the ETS and other C&T systems, emission targets will be adjusted
over time Earnings from the emission certificates trading can be invested into new RES-E
ConsequenceAdditional RES-E / CCS Needs strong regulatory framework Takes effect only on new vehicles
Feasibility Feasible in all countries Less likely in North America and China because national Cap and Trade systems for
GHG emissions do not exist yet.
86
Co-Evolution – Feasibility of policy options
Phase 2
www.iea-retd.org
Grid Stabilization Bonus
EVs receive a bonus payment for plugging in and thus being available for storage and feed-in of volatile RES-E
ConsequenceBetter RES-E utilizationStable grids Advanced metering and implementation (billing!) needed
Feasibility This option is only feasible, if advanced metering (bidirectional!) is already installed
on a large scale Profitability is key for successful implementation First Countries: Italy, Sweden, Norway ?

Conclusions
www.iea-retd.org 101
North America & Europe
Cities and urban areas will be breeding grounds for EV deployment and charging infrastructure
EV expansion to rural areas is highly unlikely in the medium term due to infrastructure and social acceptance issues
In Phase 1 EVs will not feed back power to the grid outside of pilot projects
No problems arise in European grids for the projected low shares of EVs
Measures for increased deployment: Support policies (subsidies, tax benefits and other support policies)
Battery cost reduction / improved performance
Public information campaigns
Measures for system integration Get ISO’s involved in pilot projects or local development projects
Grid upgrades and smart grid development to allow for bi-directionality and regulation
Regulate grid expansion as a part of a feed-in tariff program (eg. suggested for Province of Ontario)
Conclusions
www.iea-retd.org 102
China – Co-Evolution requires changes in renewable electricity and electric vehicles deployment Both grid and battery technology require technological innovation in China in
order to support the integration of EV and RE Charging models must be matched with RE grid interaction models in order to
take advantage of clean energy in EVs, and suitable business models need to be developed
Emphasis should be on increasing overall RE on the grid At this time, China is focusing on large-scale RE including wind and solar projects,
with little attention paid to distributed RE generation. Private power plants are not approved in China at this time. All power must enter
the grid and be downloaded from the grid.
There should also be an emphasis on increasing population of EVs – to the scale of millions of vehicles.
It is unlikely that smart grid will be economically viable or technologically useful without such large numbers.
Incentives are needed for both vehicles and grid companies in order to attain a critical mass of vehicles and smart grid participants.
