3 Easy Steps to Driving Electric through BDE

3. What is Belmont Drives Electric?
We are a community program for Belmont residents sponsored by the Belmont Energy Committee, Belmont Light, Sustainable Belmont, and Belmont EV enthusiasts.
Goal – to promote the use of EVs throughout town and to encourage EV owners to “charge smart” in order to reduce our town’s impact on the environment. 50 NEW EVs by March 2017!
How? – by providing you with all the knowledge and tools necessary to decide whether driving electric is right for you and your family.

4. Goals in Belmont Climate Action Plan (2007):
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions 80% by 2050
75% Belmont Citizens voted for it
Green Community Designation (2014):
Reduce emissions 20% in 5 years
Achieved to-date (2007 to 2014):
5% CO2 reduction
Not enough!!!

5. Vehicles cause most of Belmont’s CO2 emissions
- more than 1/3 of all emissions almost half of all residential emissions

6. Why Drive Electric?
Environmental Benefits

7. Best ways to reduce CO2 in your household
Heating 2. EV 1.
Solar 3.
Replace your car with an EV (-3.2 t CO2)
Switch from Gas to Heatpump (-3 t CO2)
Solar (-2 t CO2)

8. Characteristics of Belmont vehicles Belmont MA
Average miles traveled: 23.2 mi/day 33 mi/day
Average fuel efficiency: 18 mpg 17 mpg

9. EV Range All EVs have enough range for daily driving (typ. 70-110 mi)
PHEV’s go electric for daily drive and gas for longer trips
High-end EV’s can go 200+ mi
Range anxiety is not a big concern

10. Comparison of Emissions
for different Cars
or Solar

11. Switching from a Car (20 mpg) to an EV (savings 3
Switching from a Car (20 mpg) to an EV (savings 3.2 t CO2) is equivalent to:
Driving 7,700 fewer miles per year
Consuming 360 fewer gallons of gasoline
Cutting household electricity by 47%
Carbon capture of 3 acres of trees

Improved local air quality
Reduced noise pollution

14. “Big Picture” Considerations
More Renewables Energy on the Grid >>> Greener EVs
Overnight charging >>> Cheaper AND Greener
Off-peak power is cheaper (15% Belmont Light discount)
Electricity at night comes from more renewable sources (wind, hydro)
EVs and Renewable Energy >>> A Virtuous Cycle
EV batteries can be charged when renewable energy is available
Future smart grids can utilize EV-batteries as part of a carbon-free energy cycle
