Powerpoint from 3.4.2016 PEV Stakeholder Meeting

PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
PLAN FOR HIGHWAY 70
CORRIDOR
WHY IS A PLAN NEEDED?
• Currently the population of NC is around 10 million. It is predicted to grow to
more than 12 million by 2030.
• By 2030 the vehicle traffic is predicted to increase in NC by another 25%.
• There will be an estimated 700,000 + PEVs in NC by 2030.
• There will be an estimated 37,000 + PEVs in eastern NC by 2030.
• PEVs are zero-emission vehicles (ZEV). ZEVs are associated with significant
health, environmental, and economic benefits.
• Eastern Carolina may suffer economic consequences if not able to
accommodate citizens, businesses and tourists who use PEVs.
DEFINITIONS
Term
Battery Electric
Vehicle (BEV)
Definition
A vehicle that runs solely on a battery recharged by the electric grid.
Plug-In Hybrid
Electric Vehicle
(PHEV)
A vehicle that is battery powered and can be plugged in to recharge AND that is
a gasoline engine that can be refueled with gasoline.
Internal Combustion
Engine (ICE)
Engine that generates mechanical power by burning a liquid fuel (e.g., gasoline,
diesel or biofuel) or a gaseous fuel (e.g., natural gas). They are the dominant
engine used on the road today.
BEV CHARACTERISTICS
BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Propulsion
Electric motor/battery only
Refueling
Recharge with electricity
Range
BEVs can travel between 70-100 miles (some go further) on a full charge. Most
owners travel less than 40 miles per day.
Charging
Time: Full size BEVs take about 4-6 hours to fully charge using a 220-volt charger
(think electric dryer)
Charger type: faster on 220 volts, but can also charge on a 120 volt outlet
Cost: BEVs typically cost about $1 per gallon equivalent (when charging during
off-peak hours at 10 cents/kWh)
Battery
BEVs on the market today typically have lithium ion batteries that are between
24 kWh and 36 kWh in size.
Emissions
BEVs are zero emission vehicles. The only emissions are from utility generation mix

PHEV CHARACTERISTICS
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Propulsion
Electric motor/battery plus gasoline engine
Refueling
Recharge with electricity OR refuel with gasoline
Range
PHEVs can travel on battery power alone between 15-35 miles and 300+ in
gasoline electric hybrids
Charging
Time: PHEVs take about 1 hour to fully charge using a 220 volt charger and
about 3 hours at 120 volts.
Charger type: Charging from a 120 volt outlet is usually preferred by PHEV drivers
since there is no cost for charging equipment and the time to charge is minimal
Cost: The cost will depend on the ratio of electric to gasoline miles driven
Battery
PHEVs typically have lithium ion batteries, but they are smaller than those found
in pure BEVs
Emissions
PHEVs have very low emissions. Actual emissions depend upon the electric to
gasoline ratio used

WHAT ARE SOME CHALLENGES
REGARDING THE PEV DEALERSHIPS?
• These type of cars don’t sell in eastern NC—too rural
• Don’t even keep one onsite at the dealership for test drives
• Company wants us to spend too much money on tools to repair them
• Have charging stations but the person who answered the phone at one
dealership did not even know that they did
• “We don’t want anything to do with them.”
• Potential loss of revenue for things like oil changes, etc.

• Goal 3: Foster the acceleration of PEV readiness in the region
• Goal 4: Align the benefits of PEVs with other initiatives in NC to maximize
effectiveness (e.g., economic development, clean air and water initiatives,
and fossil fuel reduction initiatives)
