27
Batteries are improving Lithium – 1/3 Weight 2.5X capacity 8x Charge cycles
28
Battery pricing has dropped DateLi - $/Battery 12V 40 amp-hr Pb Battery Optima 38 2/2006$1090$129 1/2009$275$159 4/2009$250 12/2009$200$170
29
Charging TN one of 5 states for initial infrastructure $100 M grant with additional state funds. Trying to ensure the Leaf and new battery plant are a success
30
Charging Level 1 120V 15 Amp 12 hours Level 2 220V 30 Amp 3 hours Level 3 460 V 60 Amp 30 minutes

Overview Why Models now out Models coming soon Batteries & charging Electrical grid impacts
32
Grid Impact If charging is done off peak no new plants are needed If charging is done at peak times 160 new power plants needed (17,000 in operation) 25% of miles powered electrically
33
Are electric vehicles 0 emissions? No But even 100% electricity from coal is better. 5-60% lower emissions Coal is worst case Nuclear, Hydro, Wind, Solar are clean Electric powered automobiles, even using the most CO 2 intensive coal produced electricity, produce half the emissions of gasoline powered automobiles.
