Florida International University Energy Series Building Florida’s Clean Energy FutureNovember 27, 2013
BACKGROUND
l
The Department of Energy (DOE) promotes and provides opportunities for Coalitions to network with one another:
• Created by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct)
• Provides framework for businesses and governments to work together as a coalition to enhance markets
• Identifies mutual interests, develops regional economic opportunities, and improves air quality
National Program
87 Active Coalitions in 46 states
632,000+ Alt Fuel Vehicles
5,600+ Alt Refueling Stations
6,500+ Stakeholders from businesses, local governments, transportation industry, fuel providers, and community organizations

Clean Cities:Clean Cities: A voluntary, locally-based government/industry partnership A voluntary, locally-based government/industry partnership
National Program
Clean Cities Mission:
To advance the energy, economic, and environmental security of the U.S. by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum consumption in the transportation sector.
Alternative Fuel Vehicles at the Indianapolis 500 Speedway for the Clean Cities Stakeholders Summit in June 2011
Local Program
Sponsored by the South Florida Regional Planning Council, the Southeast Florida Clean Cities’ vision is to reduce dependence on imported oil and improve the environment by creating a sustainable alternative fuel market through the support and promotion of clean fuels.
Coalition Chair Patricia Asseff speaking at E85 Station Grand Opening
So … Why the current interest in EVs??
“The U.S. spends over $300 billion on imported foreign oil annually, which represents over 50 percent of the U.S. trade deficit. According to the International Energy Agency, oil demand from developing countries will cause prices to average $100 a barrel between now and 2015, and to double by 2030” - - Electric Drive Transportation Association
Electric Vehicle Community Readiness Planning Grants Awarded Nationwide:
September 2011
•$8.5 million
16 projects across 24 states and DC
One-year projects to facilitate local partnerships
Results: Publicly releasable and replicable plans
Florida Gold Coast Sustainable Community Planning for Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure
A seven-county regional planning effort
Proposes to develop plans to address institutional, technological, and market barriers to accelerate plug-in electric vehicle adoption in Southeast Florida.
Five teams will focus on:– Fleet adoption, – Policy/permitting, – Infrastructure development, – Education & outreach, – U.S. 1 corridor demonstration project
Barriers to Plug-In EV Adoption
Limited range AKA “range anxiety”
Limited public charging infrastructure
Higher upfront purchase cost
Long charge times
Limited styling
Limited first responder training
Benefits of Plug-In EV Adoption
Lower “fuel” costs
Maintenance savings
Greater convenience
Safety and reliability
Environmental and health benefits
Energy security: reduced need for foreign oil

ProjectOrganization Structure
Project Tasks(Task 1) PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Work with Steering Committee in overall management of project
(Task 2) FLEET OUTREACH: Work with targeted fleets to compile available life-cycle cost information for fleet conversion and deployment
(Task 3) PERMITTING: Identify and develop a plan to address code, policy and regulatory barriers to EV / EVSE deployment
(Task 4) Infrastructure: Develop recommendations for public charging infrastructure, including siting, technology and other considerations
(Task 5) COMMUNICATIONS: Develop education and public awareness plans for consumers, fleet administrators, and public permitting officials
(Task 6) US-1 CORRIDOR: Develop master plan for future EV and infrastructure deployment along portion of US-1 in Miami
(Task 7) READINESS PLAN: Compile a regional EV Community Readiness Plan with prioritized action items
Task 2: Fleet Outreach
Work with targeted fleets to compile available life-cycle cost information for fleet conversion and deployment
– Identify up to seven fleet operators across the Region who are good candidates for adoption of electric vehicles
– Work with the fleet operators to compile available life-cycle cost information to determine fleet conversion and deployment potential
– Identify incentives and possible sources of funding for fleet conversion
Task 3: Permitting
Identify and develop a plan to address code, policy and regulatory barriers to EV / EVSE deployment
– Analyze Florida’s codes, local government policies, and regulatory barriers to EVSE deployment
– Analyze best practices for EV Supply Equipment (EVSE) codes and opportunities to standardize and streamline the process
– Identify opportunities to include support for EV and EVSE deployment into regional planning documents
– Develop recommendations for governmental policy, code and permitting changes that support EV and EVSE deployment
Task 4: Infrastructure
Identify options for public and private infrastructure deployment including siting, technology and other considerations – Provide a consolidated guide to siting and installation of charging
stations and charging equipment features and options– Summarize multi-unit dwelling and workplace charging policy and
process considerations– Outline public charging location characteristics and considerations
for charging levels, ownership and payment models– Identify the appropriate quantity, concentration and location types
for public charging in the region
Level 1
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
Level 2 Level 3
• 8-10 hours• Overnight recharging• Residential use• Some work-place use
• 20 minutes• Quick recharge and long trip• Commercial location only• Additional siting criteria
• 3-4 hours• Destination recharging• Residential use• Work-place and public
Task 5: Communications
Develop public awareness and training plans for stakeholders in the Region
– Wherever possible, plans will utilize low cost/no cost channels and tactics and leverage the existing communication channels of its public and private stakeholder members
– Activities include working with each of the planning teams on their respective training plans and outreach materials
Task 6: US-1 Corridor Master Plan
Master plan for future EV and infrastructure deployment
along a portion of US-1 in Miami-Dade County
Known as a “Car Share” plan, it can become implemented
as a program when funding becomes available
Vehicle rental for short term use Without office or counter staff Users are pre-approved as members Vehicles placed on-street, near users in “pods” Vehicle fleets tuned to local market preferences & needs Reservation by phone, web, or mobile app or just pick up
What is a Car Share Program?
Puts electric vehicles (EV) on the road Allows consumers to try out an EV
without purchase commitment, ownership, and cost barriers
Addresses other EV adoption barriers: Early model/technology obsolescence Maintenance uncertainty Installation of EVSE (important for
apartment dwellers)
Facilitates deployment of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
Electric Vehicle Car Share Program - Why?
“Car sharing is an extension of transit that saves you hundreds of dollars each and every month”
from City Car Share website
Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
