4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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 **

10. 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.
