Hybrid Conversions Standard hybrids converted to plug-in with an

after-market battery kit Dual-Mode Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)

Gas engine and electric motor work together to optimally power the drive train

Extended Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) Capable of medium range, high speed all-

electric drive with small engine as generator Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV or EV)

Greater battery capacity for long range, all-electric drive and no back up engine

Tesla Roadster

Chevy Volt

Toyota Prius

There are several types of Plug-in vehicles

Advanced Vehicle Technologies Are Part Of Our Balanced Solution

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) demonstrations

7 converted Priuses, 2 Ford Escapes, Bucket Truck

UF Prius conversion

City of St. Petersburg Ford Escape conversion

Significant public outreach and education

Technical consultant and strong collaborative efforts

Research and development (EPRI, AE, V2Green, etc)

Evaluating business models for charging solutions and relationship to

renewable energy

Partnering with OEMs, counties, cities, and non-profits

How is Progress Energy Supporting Vehicle Technologies that will Lead to Job Creation?

Grants Awarded: Transportation Electrification

Progress Energy among utility partners in both Ford and GM proposals

7

Chevy Volt (EREV)

Grant Submitted: Smart Grid

Tomorrow’s Smart Grid will have the potential to provide efficient off-peak

plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging, on-peak vehicular energy storage

utilization, and two way communications

Smart Grid team submitted proposal for $520M project on 06AUG09

Request was for $200M of DOE funding (Award in 60 – 90 days)

3 year project

Includes a number of complementary technologies

Interconnecting Smart Grid projects will span both PEF and PEC

Smart Grid development and integration will require green labor

PGN and Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) leadership role in NC vehicle

electrification efforts

RMI model provides:

Best practices

Networking

Leadership

“Action templates”

Menu: http://www.projectgetready.com/docs/Project_Get_Ready_Menu_Mar16.pdf

Goal: Leverage PGN experience, secure OEM participation with early

technology release, and engage key stakeholders to enable and accelerate

the adoption of electric vehicles and PGN smart charging infrastructure.

Held August 4, 2009 at OC Environmental Protection Division

Included representatives from PGN, Nissan North America Inc, Orange County, the

City of Orlando, DOE Clean Cities, the Florida Electric Auto Association, OUC, the

Florida Solar Energy Center, the University of Central Florida, and NASA.

Topics Covered:

Electric transportation technology

Benefits of vehicle electrification

State of industry and expected OEM release dates

Vehicular charging and utility impact

Nissan Leaf EV early release in late 2010

Attendees were very interested in continuing the Project Get Ready process

Project Get Ready: Orange County Meeting

11

Nissan North America, Inc presentation at OC meeting

Potentially interested in an early release of Nissan Leaf EV in our area

Strong commitment and collaborative effort required

Expectation of 300+ vehicle placements

“Hand raiser” at http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/opt-in/en/index.jsp

New vehicles will have flex 120/240 VAC charge voltages

Fast charging is expected to be available 1 – 1.5 years after release

Interested in US manufacturing if initial release is successful

Green workers will be required for vehicle and parts manufacturing,

maintenance, smart charging infrastructure, lithium ion battery recycling, etc.

Project Get Ready: OEM Participation

Financing Projects And Green Jobs

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funding:

Federal agency direct competitive grants

Federal agency direct noncompetitive grants (“Block Grants”)

Federal “pass through” funding with states administering grants

Internal Funding:

Budget planning process

New construction, building retrofits/upgrades, fleet vehicles, education and

outreach, etc.
