Research and Markets: Strategic Technology and Market Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Europe ...

Press Release Source: Research and Markets On Wednesday June 1, 2011, 7:18 am EDT

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dc17d9/strategic_technolo) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Strategic Technology and Market Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Europe" to their offering.

Prospect of Over 2 Million Public Charging Points by 2017 Bode Well for European EV Charging Infrastructure Market

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant attention over the last few years from various European governments as they look to promote the deployment of EV charging infrastructure. There are strong indicators that the EV market will take off in an unprecedented way - over 2 million public charging points are anticipated by 2017 in Europe with 3 per cent of this being accounted for by DC-DC rapid and inductive charging concepts. The market is poised to grow from less than 10,000 public charging points in 2010 to close to 2 million public charging points by 2017. This will largely be motivated by local government initiatives, including several incentives, aimed at boosting the expansion of public charging infrastructure for EVs. European governments are expected to budget about 700 million over the next seven years for charging stations, notes the analyst of this research. This will be one of the main drivers behind the exponential growth in public charging infrastructure for EVs. The approximate investment over the next seven years is likely to be about 5 billion for building EV infrastructure in Europe in relation to charging. The ratio of the number of cars to charging stations in Europe stands currently at 2.5, dropping to 1.8 by 2017.

The rate of growth of public charging infrastructure in Europe is very high, principally due to local government initiatives in different countries. Local governments are granting customers a variety of incentives to purchase an EV, remarks the analyst. Such incentives include discounts on the purchase price, tax reduction or exemption, and other advantages such as no congestion charge, free parking, and use of exclusive lanes, among others. There are many other initiatives such as initiating infrastructure deployment, which can be financed by governments. For instance, the French Government has allocated 400 million for infrastructure. Other approaches include playing a role as a partner in different projects, such as the Portuguese Government partnering with Renault-Nissan. Providing funding to private projects for infrastructure installation is another method being adopted by governments to encourage EV adoption.

DC- DC Fast Charging to Show Way Forward

Slow charging is the most widely available option at present. This method requires six to eight hours for a vehicle to fully charge (80 per cent) and represents an infrastructure problem. Manufacturing and installation of a single charging station can be as high as 6,000, implying the need for sizeable investments to equip an entire city with charging stations, states the analyst. Moreover, 6 to 8 hours of slow charging means more charging stations are required to ensure availability at all times.

Fast charging will help resolve this issue. However, at the moment, this method is expensive and not widely available. In addition, it is presumed not to be entirely safe for users to handle. The adoption of concepts such as DC-DC fast charging is critical to ensure the dramatic decrease of charging duration, concludes the analyst. A DC-DC charging station may eventually produce its own energy supply from renewable sources, offering an added advantage.

2011 Market Facts

Published: Wednesday, June 1, 2011
Stevens Pass powers up two EV charging stations

SCBJ staff

STEVENS PASS — Stevens Pass Resort has completed the nation's first mountain-pass electric vehicle charging stations.

The resort's two new chargers along U.S. 2 might also be the only public units located at a ski resort anywhere in the Western U.S., the state Department of Transportation announced in a June 1 press release.

Each Level-II station provides both a trickle charge and a faster charge, servicing two electric vehicles simultaneously. These 240-volt fast-charge units built by Coulomb Technologies Inc. allow EV drivers to recharge while they enjoy the resort's recreational activities. Owners of vehicles like the new Nissan Leaf will gain approximately 15 miles of range for every hour of charging. Nearly empty batteries will require four to six hours to fully charge — perfect for a day of skiing or mountain biking at the resort or hiking from the trailhead of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Stevens Pass fills a critical link in EV charging infrastructure along U.S. 2, providing EV drivers with a well-placed recharging option and permitting journeys to Leavenworth or Wenatchee, where other chargers are located. The Stevens Pass stations are available to the public 24 hours a day, every day of the year with restrooms nearby and reliable cellphone coverage.

“Our companywide focus on sustainability includes many progressive programs, and we are especially pleased to remain on the cutting edge by installing these EV charging stations at the resort,” Ross Freeman, environment and sustainability manager for Stevens Pass, said in the press release. “We strive to lead the way among Pacific Northwest resorts in reducing our carbon footprint. Supporting the use of electric vehicles puts us one more step ahead of the competition.”

Grants from the ChargePoint America Program, which includes federal stimulus funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, helped pay for the new charging stations. Stevens Pass paid for all fabrication, installation and electrical work.

Both charging stations are connected via cellular signal to the national ChargePoint Network, allowing anyone with a smartphone or computer to access station location and real-time availability information, view their usage history and sign up for email alerts.

The average user fee for charging at Level-II stations is $4 to $5 per session, but Stevens Pass will waive this charge for an introductory period. Fees can be paid through a key-ring swipe pass, credit card or by calling a toll-free phone number on each unit.

Other locations along U.S. 2 are considering or have announced plans to install Level-II charging stations. Also along U.S. 2, the DOT will install two DC fast-charging stations (sometimes known as Level-III), which can provide an 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes. By the end of 2011, this route will connect to I-5 and DOT's Electric Highway Project.

“Stevens Pass is leading a national movement. This new electric-vehicle charging station is a peek at how most of us will drive to the mountains in the not-so-distant future, using cleaner, more efficient fuels,” Washington State Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond said in the press release. “It brings us closer to a seamless network of electric vehicle charging stations across Washington and, eventually, from Canada to Mexico with the West Coast Green Highway.”

“Businesses along U.S. 2 rely on tourism,” said Port of Chelan County's Ron Johnston-Rodriguez, director of the PlugIn Center. “With fast charging stations along this scenic byway, travelers will be able to drive electric cars to popular destinations such as Stevens Pass, Leavenworth and Wenatchee.”

Expanding Electric Vehicle Market Will Likely Necessitate More EV Charging Stations and Education for Property ...

Press Release Source: Jones Lang LaSalle On Thursday April 21, 2011, 5:12 pm EDT

CHICAGO, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As the acceptance and use of electric vehicles is becoming more prevalent, thanks to recent investment from the government and car manufactures, more commercial property owners and managers are grappling with how to react to growing demand for EV charging stations at their properties.

“The growth of the electric car sector is very real,” said Bob Best, SVP and head of Jones Lang LaSalle’s EV Task Force. “We know the eventual demand for charging stations is going to hit the real estate market, and we need to be prepared to guide owners on the best approach to tackling this issue.”

To help building managers navigate the emerging EV charging station arena, Jones Lang LaSalle, along with other EV industry leaders, has developed an educational program that offers managers guidance on everything from purchasing charging stations to installing and maintaining the technology.

Named the EZ EV? program, it aims to address common concerns about charging stations, such as demand, price, logistics and return on investment. The program stemmed from an EV task force Jones Lang LaSalle formed in 2010 after receiving a plethora of questions from clients about the potential need for charging stations at their properties. ?

“Considering the recent substantial investment in electric cars, both from the government and car manufactures, I don’t think ignoring the EV movement and its potential opportunities is wise,” Best said.

In 2009, the Department of Energy awarded $2.4 billion in stimulus money to various entities to build electric vehicles and develop a charging station infrastructure, spurring the electric car’s growth.

In fact, the cumulative investment in national and regional charging station infrastructure is projected to reach between $5 billion and $10 billion by 2015, according to information from the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA). ? ?

Further, an estimated 20 electric car models, including the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt, are expected to hit the marketplace and roadways by 2012, according to the same information.

“More and more people are going to want to use these cars, so over time there will be more pressure on building owners and managers to provide charging stations,” said Brian Wynn, president of the EDTA. “We want them to know this is coming and to be ready for it.”

Developed in partnership with Eaton Corp., and WESCO Distribution Inc., the EZ EV program is intended to help prepare building managers for this potential investment.

It offers education about the actual charging stations, how to determine demand, the installation process, implementation and overall strategies for seamlessly integrating the devices into their properties. The education comes in the form of written materials, as well as a 1-800 number and e-mail address where property managers can direct their questions.

“This is a rapidly emerging area, so we wanted to make the information-gathering process and the ability to execute an EV strategy for building managers as easy as possible,” said Steve Johanns, area sales manager for Eaton, a power management company. “We’ll do everything from answer questions and help managers develop an appropriate bill of material, to discussing turn-key solutions, and even assist in identifying installation partners through the Eaton Certified Contractor Network.”

The more educated and proactive managers are about charging stations, the more they will be valued by owners who already have their own questions about such an investment and the potential returns and pitfalls.

“Property managers’ clients are asking questions and they need to have answers,” said Chuck Smith, global account manager for WESCO, an electric charging station distributor. “Having this information easily accessible will bring value to their customers and clients.”

Best said whether or not the charging stations are a necessary investment for buildings at this point remains unclear, but he said being able to respond to owners’ queries about the trend with informed answers is most important.

“We are groping our way into a vast unknown area,” Best said.?“The electric cars are not here yet, so it’s not surprising that our clients are unsure about what to do.? Our best response is exactly what we are doing...trying to stay informed and develop solutions to fit the emerging need as best we can.”

Impact of Electric Vehicle Roll-out to Shift Market Focus from Charging Infrastructure to Advanced Distribution Grid ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA--March 28, 2011: Due to their significant load requirements on existing power grids, the electric vehicles (EV) market will present a large market opportunity for smart grid hardware, software and communications vendors. As rising oil prices and auto-industry advances engender this EV market, a variety of smart grid technologies are becoming increasingly necessary for utilities to deploy in order to maintain grid reliability and safety. GTM Research forecasts cumulative global EV sales to hit 3.8 million by 2016, which will accelerate the rate of adoption of distribution automation technologies, vehicle-to-grid communications, and new software applications.

“Right now, EV infrastructure investment is centered on electric delivery via the charging stations”

GTM Research's latest Smart Grid report is concerned with the impact of electric vehicles on the grid and the next-generation hardware and software solutions that will support their successful introduction. At nearly 100 pages with over 70 figures, The Networked EV: The Convergence of Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles is the first report of its kind to investigate beyond the current, well-known challenges of charging-station deployment and transformer overloading to the more systemic, utility-side issues such as the need for increased visibility and control, tiered retail pricing and reliable communications standards and protocols between distribution grid infrastructure and electric vehicles.

"Despite the appeal of electric transportation, presently the challenges facing utilities due to the introduction of EVs are not very widely, or very well, understood," said report author and GTM Research's Senior Manager of Smart Grid, David J. Leeds. "Over the next decade, ensuring adequate distribution grid reliability appears to be the principal challenge related to the initial rollout of EVs. A variety of related grid control and protection issues will necessitate a large investment in smart grid technologies, specifically grid communications and distribution automation."

Recently, the investment in smart grid-EV infrastructure has focused on the face of the EV, the charging station. In addition, major vendors such as GE and Siemens amongst others, are planning to roll out their respective EV charging equipment in 2011.

"Right now, EV infrastructure investment is centered on electric delivery via the charging stations," said Leeds. "However, as more public stations and Level 2 home chargers pop up, investment in a new generation of dynamic grid devices will be imperative. Smart grid technologies such as next generation tap changers, voltage regulators, capacitor banks and reclosers, and the communication networks to support these smart devices, will bring a new level of grid optimization and control enabling EVs to safely scale into the tens and hundreds of millions."

ABOUT THE REPORT

The Networked EV: The Convergence of Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles examines in detail the technology and planning considerations that will lead to a successful smart grid-EV convergence. The report analyzes hot button issues such as transformer build-out and advanced metering (AMI) and charging infrastructure, but also expands the conversation beyond these known challenges to highlight emerging smart grid infrastructure solutions for the EV market. These solutions include communications standards and protocols that act as the "digital handshake" between the grid and the EV, as well as distribution automation (DA) technologies that will enable a more self-aware grid capable of autonomously self-correcting based on EV consumption patterns and moment-to-moment grid conditions.

Frost & Sullivan to Provide Industry Leaders With Key Plug-In Electric Vehicle Market Insights

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - March 17, 2011) - ?Frost & Sullivan's Veerender Kaul is set to speak at this year's Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure USA 2011 Conference & Exhibition March 31-April 1. Kaul aims to explore the consumer attitude and perceptions about electric vehicles and their electric vehicle purchase interest and preferences.

By 2020, huge shifts in urbanization and society are expected, which will collectively impact personal mobility.?Electric vehicles (EV) are expected to be in the forefront of these changes with ground-breaking products, innovative business models and new customer experiences. The move from a fossil-fuel based personal transportation system to an electric system, however, presents enormous challenges. The high price of EVs, limited driving range of battery EVs (typically 100 miles) and the lack of a public charging network are major impediments to the adoption of EVs.

The high investment needs for developing electric vehicles and the supporting infrastructure, amidst uncertainty about the acceptance of these vehicles, poses enormous risk. For a successful EV program, it is important to understand the vehicle-purchase and vehicle-usage criteria of consumers and fleet customers and align product and service offerings to them. Veerender Kaul's presentation will analyze the following key issues:

What is the level of awareness and interest in purchasing electric vehicles? What are the motivations for purchasing an electric vehicle? What are the vehicle usage and performance characteristics of interested customers? Who are the potential early adopters of electric vehicles? What are the electric vehicle feature preferences?

"On one hand, the unique driving attributed to an EV makes it difficult to position it as a primary vehicle and on the other hand its high price makes its positioning as a secondary vehicle difficult.?Innovative business models that package transportation services with EVs to overcome its driving limitations and derive secondary revenue streams to reduce the cost burden on EV owners are crucial to positioning an EV as a primary vehicle and enhancing its value proposition," notes Veerender Kaul, Frost & Sullivan's Automotive & Transportation Research Director.
