Today’s Agenda Overview of the EV Landscape Charging Stations About this Webinar Charging Stations Technology Review Permitting & Safety Standards Funding Resources CSU Case Study

Northern Colorado Vehicle Market in Context PEVs account for about 1 percent of light-duty sales in Northern Co. Yet, the experience of traditional hybrids (HEVs) offers reason for optimism. DENC has consistently performed above the national average for EV sales

Northern Colorado PEV Charging Infrastructure DENC has increased public charging infrastructure throughout Northern Colorado making drivers never more than 6 miles from charging. NORTHERN COLORADO PEV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE DENC has facilitated installation of numerous 240V public charging stations in Northern Colorado bringing the current network to more than 20. DENC has also facilitated installation of 4 DC fast chargers. An I-25 charging corridor is being discussed with Colorado Energy Office and the Regional Air Quality Council. Several of the areas largest employers have already committed to launching work place charging.

Workplace Charging Challenge Join 21 employers across the region, and over 200 companies across the U.S. in providing charging availability to employees. Driving Adoption: Employees are 20 times more likely to drive an EV if they have access to charging at the workplace. Employee benefit: Offering workplace charging has been shown to increase employee retention and attract the best and the brightest applicants. Networking: Over 200 companies and organizations across the U.S. are participating in the challenge, giving your company the chance to network with hundreds of large companies. We Marketing: DENC and the U.S. Department of Energy will highlight your organization for your participation in blogs, social media, and other marketing. WHY PARTICIPATE?

EV Charging Stations

Objectives Our learning objectives for today are to better understand the basics of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), equipment installation, and workplace charging. A case study on the subject of workplace charging installations will be presented in hopes to better understand the business requirements associated with these projects. EVSE    

Why Workplace Charging? EV energy costs – a consumer perspective EV “emissions” – a sustainability perspective Vehicle Costs by Energy Source Energy Costs Cost per Mile ICE: National Average for Gasoline $2.10/gal $0.072/mile EV: Non-baseload Generation $0.15/kWh* $0.045/mile* * Assumes workplace charging fee of $1 per hour is applied. Vehicle Emissions by Energy Source Emissions Intensity Emissions per Mile ICE: National Average for Gasoline 8,887 g CO2/gal** 411 g CO2e/mile** EV: Non-baseload Generation 790 g CO2/kWh 237 g CO2e/mile ** https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-02/documents/420f14040a.pdf

Charging & Generation Profiles Note: the majority of charging events (~80%) still occur overnight at the employee’s home. Workplace Charging benefits from the use of solar energy during the day. A. Workplace Charge Profile (# of events) B. Simulated Single-axis Tracking Solar (MWh)

Technology Review (1 of 2) Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE): Level 1 – Single Phase / 120 V Level 2 – Single or Split Phase / 208 V or 240 V DC Fast Charger (DCFC) Two or Three Phase / 240 V or 480 V

Technology Review (2 of 2) “Smart” (Networked) Chargers Wifi or Cellular connection required Capable of accepting credit/RFID card payment Track information on usage, metering, DR, etc. Connectors J1772 CHAdeMO SAE Combo-connector Tesla connectors

Technology Review – Installation System Sizing *Smart chargers with data monitoring and payment system typically cost more Boring conduit to parking lot sites also adds considerably to total project costs EVSE Type Power Requirement Panel Service Approx. Equipment Costs Level 1 1.8 kW 15-20 Amp $250 + Level 2 6.6 kW 30-80 Amp $500-2000* + DCFC 50+ kW 120+ Amp $6,500+

EVSE Safety Standards Equipment UL 2594 Installation NFPA 70 – Article 625 * Most safety and permitting requirements will be handled by the installation contractor.

Student Research Students at CSU have taken part in programs such as the U.S. Department of Energy’s EcoCAR 3 competition, which brings together collegiate engineering teams to reduce the environmental impact of transportation.

Testing Ground CSU was award four neighborhood electric vehicle with diagnostics and tracking metrics for employees to use for cross-campus trips.

Fleet Conversion Determine Demand within range of EVs Set Fleet Conversion Goal President’s Sustainability Committee EV Fleet Vehicles allow: employees to be insured by University when they make work day trips an employee to commute without a personal vehicle because they can use the EV workday trips Seek Dealership Maintenance Training for Staff
