1 Moving from Oil and Coal to Renewable Energy for Transportation and Society Prof Andrew Frank UCDavis Mech Aero Eng CTO Efficient Drivetrains Inc aafrank@ucdavis.edu afrank@efficientdrivetrains.com

2 Why?? World oil supply with conventional recovery is peaking with supply disruptions possible Coal is creating vast pollution and CO 2 problems Cost of oil will rise exponentially in time with energy security issues Need to go to much lower cost energy sources for transportation and all stationary power and energy uses by Solar, Wind, Hydro, and Nuclear

3 C O N F I D E N T I A L © 2 0 0 8 United States Department of Energy, 2005 Oil and Gas Liquid Scenario 2004 Peak at 2007 --- US D.O.E. 2005 Demand Deficit

4 Thus: disruption!!The deficit in oil and increasing demand will cause prices to sky rocket and loss of energy security with possible disruption!! But demand will rise faster than new recovery processes can be developed this only delays the inevitable – The need to shift from using Oil to Electricity --- ASAP!! We cannot drill more!! Only the PHEV can allow this transition to take place seamlessly in the time we have!!

5 What we will talk about The Plug-In Hybrid PHEV as a basis for the shift from oil to electricity for transportation The PHEV to improve current electric generation efficiency and costs The PHEV to displace, oil & coal. The PHEV to allow solar and wind to power Our Entire Society Using Oil and Coal for Higher Value mass produced products than energy!

6 Energy Infrastructure for the PHEV is the Existing Standard 120 volt GFI plugs (1.5 to 2KW) and gas stations G2V & V2G 90% of energy 10% of energy Daily use 6 days/year use EDI/Tech www.Efficientdrivetrainsinc.com 60 mile AER PHEV’s PHEV uses Mostly Electricity

7 Electric Grid Improvement- Current system can provide same power but 30% more energy Grid managed Intelligent controller for the PHEV and energy storage outlets Before intelligent control After Intelligent control with only 20%PHEV’s in society www.efficientdrivetrains.com $10/ outlet $3000/substation V2G & G2V

8 The PHEV to displace oil + + + Conventional cars Plug-In Hybrids Public Utility Electricity Private Utility + OIL oil 500g/yr 80g/yr +

9 C O N F I D E N T I A L © 2 0 0 8 The PHEV Energy Loop and infrastructure Ethanol Oil & Grid are backup Energy stored in PHEV batteries V2G 90% electric 10% liquid oil PHEV +

10 C O N F I D E N T I A L © 2 0 0 8 Solar and Wind integration with PHEV and Electric Grid -- Powers Entire Society Energy stored in PHEV car Batteries are capable of storing weeks of energy reserve for the Nation Solar & Wind Intermittent charge Grid Electricity HOMES INDUSTRY “Controlled” Intermittent V2G & G2V PHEV From all utility sources

11 Oil and Coal for High Value products + Oil Coal Synthetic Wood Save Forests + Chemistry Not Not Oil and Coal Not used for Energy!!

12 Conclusion The PHEV Will: Provide a Seamless transitionProvide a Seamless transition for Society from Oil and Coal to Solar, Wind and renewable Bio-liquid fuel Create New Industries for More Jobs Reduce Energy Cost by an order of magnitude resulting in a much more affluent society — Solar and Wind will be less than Coal to Electricity in less than 4 years--Already less than 1/6 th the cost of gasoline at the pump!!

13 1965 1972 Urban Car Challenge 1993 “Aftershock” 2000 1998 1996 “Joule” “Coulomb” “Sequoia” 2002“Yosemite” 2005“Trinity” PHEV Engineering: EDI and 40 yr. Team Fate/Prof Frank Timeline UCDavis Univ of Wisconsin

14 Conclusion Battery technology is here and good enough- Plenty of lithium in the world!! Powertrain technology by EDI, GM, Toyota has shown that there are no barriers WorldWe must move the World toward the PHEV’s, with Solar and Wind and Bio-fuels in high volume production ASAP if we are to be able to meet rising fossil fuel prices and ameliorate CO 2 Need to get PHEV into society in mass production world wide Now!! EDI’s objective!!
