EVs 101
History of EV’s
 1830’s
 Battery electric vehicle invented by
Thomas Davenport, Robert Anderson,
others - using non-rechargeable
batteries
 Davenport’s car holds all vehicle land
speed records until ~1900
 1890’s
 EV’s outsold gas cars 10 to 1, Oldsmobile
and Studebaker started as EV companies
 1904
 First speeding ticket, issued to driver of
an EV
 Krieger Company builds first hybrid
vehicle
 1910’s
 Mass-produced Ford cars undercut
hand-built EV’s
 EV’s persist as status symbols and utility
vehicles until Great Depression

Automatically stops/starts the engine
in stop-and-go traffic
Uses regenerative braking and
operates above 60 volts
Uses an electric motor to assist a

EVs 101
How PHEV’s Work
 All-electric range
 Get home with exactly
no battery left
 Charge-sustaining
mode
[Tate, Harpster, and Savagian 2008]
EVs 101
Technical
EVs 101
What is an EPA rating?
 Conditions
 Drive cycle: e.g. city or
highway cycle, real-
world, or constant
speed
 Test temperature
 Start: (warm or cold)
Fuel: convert to
gasoline-equivalent
 Test mass: (accounts for
passengers and cargo)
 MPGe rating
 PHEV’s
EVs 101
Terminology
 State of charge (SOC)
 Battery capacity, expressed as a percentage of maximum capacity
 Depth of Discharge (DOD)
 The percentage of battery capacity that has been discharged
 Capacity
 The total Amp-hours (Amp-hr) available when the battery is
discharged at a specific current (specified as a C-rate) from 100%
SOC
 Energy
 The total Watt-hours (Wh) available when the battery is
discharged at a specific current (specified as a C-rate) from 100%
SOC
 Specific Energy (Wh/kg)
 The total Watt-hours (Wh) per unit mass
 Specific Power
 Maximum power (Watts) that the battery can provide per unit
mass, function of internal resistance of battery
EVs 101
Benefits
EVs 101
Benefits of EVs and PHEVs
 More efficient, lower fuel costs, lower
emissions
 Simpler transmission, fewer moving parts
 Fuel Choice
 Oil/energy independence
 Emissions improve with time
 Emissions at few large locations is easier to
control than millions of tailpipes
EVs 101
V2G (Vehicle to Grid) Technology
 Allows communication between utility and vehicle
 Allow integration of more renewables like wind
 Used EV batteries could be used as stationary
batteries for utilities
 With so much focus on energy efficiency reducing
electricity sales and expensive renewable energy
generation mandated, EVs could be a welcome new
segment for utilities
 They could still be a nightmare
 Batteries could provide ancillary services

When BEV’s represent 20% of the vehicle market,
they comprise only 2% of the power market
EVs 101
Operating Costs
On-board energy consumption 300 Wh/mile
Charging Efficiency 90%
Electricity consumption 333 Wh/mile
Electricity Cost 10 cents/mile
Driving Cost (electricity only) 3.3 cents/mile
Fuel economy 25 MPG
Fuel Cost $2.00/gallon
Driving Cost (fuel only) 8.0 cents/mile
Conventional Gasoline Vehicle
Battery Electric Vehicle
At 15,000 miles/year, you would
save $700/year on fuel
The estimated price range for
advanced batteries is
$500 - $1,000 per kWh
~ buying 1 kWh of battery
energy (~3 miles of electric
range) each year

CO2 Emissions
EVs 101
Biofuels vs. Biomass, Solar
 Biomass Electricity about 80% more efficient
than Biofuel
 Solar Panels to charge a car would fit on your
roof.

Challenges
 Limited Range
 Large battery weight/size
 Long Charge times
 High initial cost
 Battery life
 Consumer acceptance
 Grid Integration
EVs 101
Operating Costs
 In Europe, $60/barrel oil is enough,
 In the US, $4/gal gas is needed to be price competitive
EVs 101
Addressing customer perception
 Accepting limited range
 Most people drive less than 40 mi/day
 Most cars are parked 23 hours of the day anyway
 Smaller vehicles & reduced performance
 In the last 30 years, nearly 100% of efficiency
improvements have gone to increasing vehicle size
and performance, not reducing consumption
 How do you get people to charge at the right
time?

Better Place Model
Business plan like that of
mobile phone
Better Place owns the
batteries, the consumer
pays for energy (miles)
Plan includes charging
stations and battery
swapping
So far: Israel, Denmark
Australia, California,
Hawaii, and Canada
100,000 charging stations
planned for Hawaii by
2012
EVs 101
Rapid Charging
 Batteries
 Altairnano
 A123
 Balance of system
 Rapid Charge Stations – Don’t need many
 Refueling a car is ~10MW going through your hand
EVs 101
Batteries
 Lithium sources
 We’re not Lithium constrained
 Abundant
 Recyclable
 Recycling – 90% recoverable
 Extending battery life
 Battery management systems
 Weight/Volume reductions
 Alternative chemistries

Initial Cost
 Companies that sell cars, but lease the
batteries
 Leases like Power Purchase Agreements
 Split operating cost savings with financer
 Charging Infrastructure
 Charging subscription plans

Looking Forward
 Tipping point will be ~2020 when 10% of vehicles sold
will be BEV’s
 Battery cost: ~$700-$1,500 / kWh, down to $420 by
2015, but still too high.
 Price Premium
 PHEV40 $11,800 > ICE
 EV100 $24,100 > ICE
 Long-term PHEV’s will beat out HEV’s
 PHEV’s likely to dominate BEVs
 A 30-50% reduction in fuel consumption by 2035
*Heywood
 47% reduction by 2030 *McKinsey

  • 22. EVs 101 Benefits of EVs and PHEVs  More efficient, lower fuel costs, lower emissions  Simpler transmission, fewer moving parts  Fuel Choice  Oil/energy independence  Emissions improve with time  Emissions at few large locations is easier to control than millions of tailpipes
  • 23. EVs 101 V2G (Vehicle to Grid) Technology  Allows communication between utility and vehicle  Allow integration of more renewables like wind  Used EV batteries could be used as stationary batteries for utilities  With so much focus on energy efficiency reducing electricity sales and expensive renewable energy generation mandated, EVs could be a welcome new segment for utilities  They could still be a nightmare  Batteries could provide ancillary services Source: McKinsey
