What is a Technology Road Map?

• A Technology Roadmap (TRM) concept is a consultative process that is designed to help industry, its supply-chain, academic and research groups, and governments come together to jointly identify and prioritize the technologies needed to support strategic R&D, marketing and investment decisions. These technologies will be of critical importance to an industry in the next five to ten years.

Roadmap Objectives

• Encourage the rapid adoption of EVs for passenger and commercial transport markets in Canada through appropriate regulations, incentives, infrastructure and education/awareness. 

• Develop the EV industry in Canada in areas where Canada has a competitive advantage.

• Power these vehicles with new green electricity.

The Process

• Vision meeting – Ottawa – June 26, 2008

• User Needs Meeting – Montreal – Sept 11

• Technology Responses – Vancouver – Nov. 4

• Validation – Toronto – Nov. 25

• Report writing - to August 09

The Vision

By 2018, in addition to Hybrid Electric Vehicles, there will be at least 500,000 other highway capable – plug in electric drive vehicles on the road in Canada. These vehicles will have increased Canadian content over current 2008 internal combustion engine vehicles.

Expected Performance of EV’s • To be the same as existing vehicles

(including heating and air-conditioning standards)

• Environmental performance to be measured by grams of equivalent CO2 per

km travelled.

The key recommendations

1. Make timely and substantial investments in Canadian development and manufacture of EVs and energy storage devices to build on Canada’s already strong presence in these industries.

2. Consider supplementing federal and provincial mechanisms to promote the development, public acceptance, and procurement of personal and commercial EVs, and also the installation of charging infrastructure.

3. Reconstitute the Steering Committee as a Roadmap Implementation Committee charged with ensuring that the strategic initiatives identified in the Roadmap are addressed.

Strategic Initiatives flowing from the recommendations

• Technology – 4

• Codes, standards, regulations and infrastructure readiness – 5

• Studies and assessments – 10

• Education and outreach - 2

Initiatives deal with:

• Financial incentives to early adopters• Financial support to EV industry• Improvements in energy storage• Regulations, Codes and Standards• Converting existing fleets• Grid Capacity and Impacts• New Business Models• Education and Outreach

Emission Reductions

Gasoline costs compared to battery and electricity costs in two scenarios

Impact on the Electrical Grid

• Expected loading – for the vision - will not likely require new generation capacity for 20+ years (charged at night).

Expected evTRM Benefits

• Closer collaboration between industry and governments.• Acceptance at highest political levels that EVs make

imminent sense for Canada and that Canada has unique assets with which to lead in EV developments.

• Acceleration of supportive policies, programs needed.• Canadians become convinced of the merits of EVs.• Reduced emissions and import of fossil fuels.

Timely Implementation is critical• EMC has identified its team for the

Implementation Committee.• EMC has identified needed actions,

actors, timelines and performance indicators for each of the initiatives.

• EMC expects rapid and appropriate response from the Gov’t of Canada and other levels.

Current Status

• evTRM officially unveiled Sept 29th.

• Copies of report available at www.emc-mec.ca

• EMC asked by Gov’t of Canada to submit a proposal to manage the implementation phase.

• Work expected to start in late November

Canadian Strengths

• Electricity from renewable sources

• A growing EV industry coast to coast

• Raw materials for batteries
