1. Electric Vehicles for Australia Dr Chris Jones Australian Electric Vehicle Association Future trends and likely impacts

2. Brief History of EVs 1884: Thomas Parker builds the first practical electric car 1899: Camille Jenatzy achieves 106 km/h in an electric car 1910: almost 40% of cars in the USA are electric (~34,000) 1912: Internal combustion engines take off 1972: Oil crisis triples petrol prices 1973: AEVA was formed 1996: GM builds the Impact EV (EV1) 2000s: Lithium rechargeable batteries 2004-8: Tesla build and release the Roadster

3. Most obvious benefits of EVs Can run on locally produced renewable electricity (no need to import energy) Energy infrastructure already exists (cf. H 2 ) Very low maintenance Cheaper to run (3 c/km versus >11 c/km for ICE) More performance! Tesla Model S in Melbourne

4. NordLink project will be Europe’s longest HVDC power grid interconnection and enable the transmission of 1,400 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy

7. Electric trucks and lorries

8. 2012: approx 100 new electric cars sold 2013: 292 new electric cars sold 2014: 1130 new electric cars sold (incl. EVs and PHEVs) 2015:... And in Australia?

9. Impact on the grid... Global electronics giant Delta are developing a 6.6 kW bi-directional EV charger/inverter EVs will be the biggest consumer of electricity in your home Time of charging is critical to save money and minimise grid disturbance PV arrays at workplaces may provide sufficient energy for workplace charging Fast charging for longer trips will be far less of an issue than you think...
