PHEVs Assist the DOEs Efforts to Diversify Our Sources of Transportation Energy
Displaces a portion of petroleum with electric energy:

TTR Component Photos

Electricity propels the vehicle instead of petroleum-based gasoline Electricity from potentially renewable, clean and sustainable energy in the future
Much of gasoline usage is on short daily trips:

31-39% of annual miles are the first 20 miles of daily driving, while 63-74% are the "first 60 miles. So PHEVs with 20 mile range can use electricity to power about 35% of annual miles!
Benefits to plug-in hybrids:

Reduces petroleum or other liquid fuel usage Potential for reducing most criteria emissions in urban areas Vehicle-to-Grid services- have potential to improve electricity system cost structure

Enhanced Ethanol Blends Study: Quick Look


Overview The objective of the study is to identify emissions, fuel economy and durability issues that may arise from introducing E15 or E20 into vehicles designed to run on a maximum of E10. The purpose of the project is to do a study of late model vehicles and determine if there is any obvious roadblocks to introducing E15 or E20 to the US Vehicle Fleet before an exhaustive investigation into the effects of E15 and E20 are undertaken.

Resource Management Must Be Addressed at Regional Level

Approach/Methodology Fuel Types E0, E10, E15 Splash Blend vs matching RVP blend for E15 E20 Splash Blend vs matching RVP blend for E20 Vehicles and Test Procedures Passenger Cars and Light-Duty Trucks (2003 MY and 2007 MY) LA 92 test schedule with regulated and non regulated emissions Catalyst temperatures monitored for durability Data will be input into EPA MOVE air quality model to determine impact on regional emissions inventory. Study Collaborators:, ANL, NREL, ORNL and US EPA and US DoE.

Significant regional variations in irrigation water consumption for corn


Results Fuel economy was ~5.5% worse for E20 and E15 than for E0. The blends Nox emissions effects varied from vehicle to vehicle , however, there were no large scale differences in NO x emissions. Exhaust temperatures varied 20 to 30 degrees C between fuels during some Wide Open Throttle tests. These temperature excursions raised concern for catalyst durability. However, no major temperature excursions during the 7% grade towing tests.

Water consumption factor for nonirrigated cellulosic biofuel is comparable to that of petroleum gasoline. Published in Journal of Environmental Management Results provided key references for GAOs biofuel report to Congress (Sept. 2009) and Congressional testimony by GAO on Energy and Water (July 2009)

PHEV fuel savings highly dependent on driving and charging patterns. Both PHEVs and HEVs will achieve higher fuel economy. Average PHEV-10 projected to use 81% of the fuel used by a comparable HEV (40 mpg), saving about 70 gallons in 15,000 miles. PHEV-40 uses 45%, saving about 200 gallons.

Electric Infrastructure
No major problems are likely to be encountered for several decades in supplying the power to charge PHEVs, as long as most vehicles are charged at night. May need smart meters with TOU billing and other incentives to charge off-peak. Charging time could be 12 hours for PHEV 40s at 110-V and 23 hours at 220-V. Thus home upgrade might be needed. If charged during peak, potential for significant issues with G/T/D in some regions of US.

2030 Market Projections for PHEVs and EVs January 2010 9.9% EVs
8.6% PHEVs Major Challenges: consumer preference for long range, versatile vehicles, cost and uncertainty about battery life, perceptions of safety hazard, adequacy of the power grid

The Electric Vehicle?


Its the battery, Stupid!
6kW Charger Tank Capacity 16kWh = Gallon Gasoline Range = 90 miles Charge Time 8 hours Gas Pump = 10MW Recharge Rate 15 Gallons Range > 350 miles Refuel Time = 3 min (Gasoline is a good way to store energy!)
59

Range Anxiety can be addressed through Several Approaches


Battery Swaps Fast Charging Really Big Batteries Research on better Batteries
In Perspective:
A major electric vehicle company produced 700 vehicles last year. In 1985 - Sterling Height Assembly Plant made 700 vehicles in half a day.

Battery Swaps Back of the Envelope


Need standardized or interchangeable batteries Need sufficient vehicles to justify the infrastructure Need a cost model that can work
Current EV Battery Pack is listed as costing $12,000 for replacement (Which we all believe to be wildly optimistic) $12000 x 5% annual return on investment = $600 3 year battery life means amortizing cost is $4000 Annual Return for each pack must surpass $4600 per year For battery swapping profit, must drive 1300 miles per day per battery pack!

Fast Charging Back of the Envelope


To make the economics work will require Subsidies
Need to handle Thermal Loads and power distribution Massive investment in infrastructure required similar to hydrogen Fast Charging will not be the first resort, because there will be other options, so the gasoline forecourt model will not hold. Cost of level three charger is $15K $60K Value of electricity is about $5 per car EDF estimate: $15,000 charger is estimated to return a profit of $60 per year Scottish power estimates that a break even cost for electricity is 60 cents/ kW-h (making fast charge electric vehicles more expensive per mile than gasoline.)

Conclusion: The EV Battery is twenty times too expensive for the swap model.

This survey was released on January 25, 2010 and it shows energy to be the 10th most important national priority (with 49% of the respondents listing it as a high priority), whereas global warming was the 20th most important (with a 28% rating). Even the environment was ranked behind energy at 15th place with a 44% score.

Priority for Global Warming


CBS News and NYT Poll, December 2009

Gallup Survey: March 11, 2010


[The percent of Germans who are worried about Global Warming dropped from 62% in 2006 to 42% in 2010.]

Should Global Warming be a priority for government leaders?


High Priority: 52% in April 2007/ 37% now Serious problem but not high priority: 37% in April 2007/ 33% now Not a serious problem: 9% in April 2007/ 27% now Do not know: 2% in April 2007/ 3% now

The number of vehicles per household has increased in every survey since 1969. Over that period, the number of vehicles per licensed driver increased 47%
Demographic Statistics from the 1969, 1977, 1983, 1990, 1995 NPTS and 2001, 2009 NHTS Percent change 19692009 -16% 66% 4% 13% 59% 47% 14%

Conclusions
Project Independence projections were way off. U.S. employs about the same level of light vehicle technology as elsewhere in the world (with the exception of diesels) Some projections are very bullish about EV market penetration. Significant decline in the percent of people who think global warming is serious.
