3. The Benefits of Driving Electric
Fact:
Driving electric can save you more than 70% on fuel costs.
Fact:
Driving electric means no tailpipe emissions, helping to preserve the environment.
Fact:
Electricity is made from largely domestic sources helping to reduce the dependence on foreign oil.
If you know your electricity rate, you can calculate the exact savings for your employees and customers.
Fact:
Electric vehicle owners tend to have higher satisfaction levels with their cars compared to non-electric vehicle owners.
Driving electric is a win-win for utilities and their customers.

4. Electric Vehicle Types
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle Electric motor and ICE engine
Electric range miles
Blended electric/gas at higher speeds
2-9 kWh
Ex: Prius Plug-in
Extended Range Electric Vehicle
(EREV)
Electric vehicle with “Extended Range”
All electric for miles
Gas generated for 300+ miles
8-10 kWh
Ex: Chevy VOLT
Battery Electric Vehicle
(BEV)
Battery electric vehicle - Powered by electricity only
Electric range for
Zero emissions
16-85 kWh
Ex: Nissan LEAF, Tesla S
All types are considered PEVs, or plug-in electric vehicles
Today there are 25 different models of electric vehicles found in the U.S. with many more coming to market this year.

5. Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Home, Fleet and Public Use
DC Fast Charging
Public and Large Fleet Use
Type
Level-1
Level-2
V, up to 40 kW (80 amp)
V, up to 100kW (200 amp)
Power
120V, amp
120V, amp
240V, up to 19.2 kW (80 amp)
Charge Time
(Miles of range per hour of charge)
3 to 5 miles
3.3 kW – 10 to 14 miles
6.6 kW – 20 to 25 miles
9.6 kW – 40 to 45 miles
19.2 kW – up to 60 miles
40 kW – up to 120 miles
100 kW – up to 300 miles
Cost and complexity tends to increase the faster the charging level.
Did you know?
Most plug-in electric vehicles can be charged on a household outlet overnight.
Vehicles can be charged in a number of ways; characterized by the speed of charge. Selection should be based on site characteristics and the typical needs of users

6. Charging Locations
More than 80 percent of residential and fleet charging is done at “home”
“Home refueling,” charging overnight at home for personal vehicles and at work for fleet vehicles
Workplace charging is on the rise and supports electric vehicle adoption
Provides charge for those without dedicated home charging
Extends daily range
Public: Allows for mass adoption
Relieves “range anxiety”
BEST in destination locations or along major highway corridors
Vehicles can be charged in a number of ways; characterized by the speed of charge. Selection should be based on site characteristics and the typical needs of users

7. Common Electric Vehicle Myths
MYTH: Plug-in electric vehicles can only support short trips, not daily commutes.
MYTH: Plug-in electric vehicles aren’t “clean.” Instead of burning gas, they run off of dirty power plants.
FACT: The average is 40 miles or less, and most full battery electric vehicles are targeting close to 100-mile range on a full charge, and with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, you can go even further up to 300 miles or more.
FACT: Even when emissions from power plants are taken into consideration, electric vehicles contribute significantly less green house gases than traditional cars.
MYTH: Electric vehicles will make your energy bill go way up.
MYTH: Electric vehicles are far more expensive than the average car.
FACT: Slightly higher electric bills are offset by savings at the gas pump. This would be like filling up for a few cents per mile, compared to the average 14 cents for a traditional car.
FACT: Federal tax incentives are available, up to $7,500 as well as possible state and local incentives. Compared to gas-powered cars, you will save on fuel, maintenance and repair costs.
