Explore the challenges and priorities in implementing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, along with a detailed process for recommendations. Address issues like low market demand, regulatory barriers, and lack of information. Develop strategies for deploying charging stations, building codes, utility planning, and incentives. Plan for residential, workplace, and public charging. Establish a Utility Task Force to recommend rate structures, grid impacts, and integration with renewable energy. Enhance regional readiness through comprehensive policy and best practices.

EV Strategy: Process for Recommendations Joan Rohlfs MWCOG January 17, 2012
EV Challenges • Low market demand for PEVs discourages investment in charging infrastructure • Questions about public/private sector roles • Perceived barriers in permitting & inspection processes • Inconsistent regulatory environment re -electricity sales, charges • Lack of information re process of purchasing PEV and electricity for recharge (range anxiety)
EV Charging Infrastructure Priorities • Residential charging installation • Office/workplace • Public
EV Readiness Plan, Washington, DC Region • Introduction (challenges, data) • Existing Infrastructure, technology • How and Where to Deploy EVSE • Model Building Codes, Permitting, Zoning • Utility Planning (rates, grid impacts) • Recommendations (summary)
Schedule for addressing Issues 1.Introduction (challenges) 2. Existing Infrastructure, technology: Mar survey 3. How and Where to Deploy EVSE 4. Model Building Codes, Permitting, Zoning 5. Utility Planning (rates, grid impacts) 6. Recommendations (summary) • Remaining issues: • Deployment Strategies: • Who pays, Business Model Revenue case • Best practices for siting charging stations • Potential Site Locations • Incentives • Multi-family dwelling units, condos, HOA’s

Recommendations (summary) • Create Utility Task Force to Recommend: • Rate Structure and Third-party billing • Electric Grid impacts (clustering transformers) • Integration with renewable energy: solar charging and distributed generation • Best practices
Process for Recommendations • Identify criteria for regional strategy recommendations (criteria of cost, implementability, acceptability) • Does process/policy address identified challenges in all three states?
