  1. Electric Cars in Arctic Regions Michael Golub, Jing Zhang Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, UAF Acknowledgements: University of Alaska Fairbanks, Center for Research Services, Flint Hills Resources, Alaska EPSCoR, AUTC, INE

  2. Motivation: Electric cars’ (EVs) performance and their impact on air pollution and energy consumption in cold regions have not been studied yet. Objective: This research will study the impact of electric car usage on air pollution and energy consumption in Arctic regions. Approaches: - Conversion of electric cars. - Study of electricity consumption and pollution reductions.

  3. Electric Vehicles Converted 1986 Toyota Pick Up 1998 Chevrolet Metro 1981 VW Rabbit 1994 MTD Mower

  4. Adaptor Template Construction Adaptor and Coupler are unique components to each electric vehicle and need to be fabricated

  5. Adaptor Plate Fabrication Axis is Zeroed Digital Read Out (DRO)

  6. Adaptor Plate Hole Positions y (-2.6270, 6.4572) (-2.565,6.1642) (-5.8146, 2.3496) (5.0248, 2.9492) (0,0) x (-5.9268, -2.0178) (6.1152, -1.3486) (-3.8706, -4.3544)

  7. Testing of Adaptor Plate Rough Plate is mounted

  8. Coupler

  9. Economic Analysis of Using EV’s (2007) If charging at school : 2 x 23mpg = 46mpg Sep 2006 - June 2007 - Drove Toyota 4x4 Daily and covered about 36 miles/day and did about 6,000 miles

  10. Economic Analysis of Using EV’s (2008) If charging at school : 2 x 31mpg = 62mpg Sep 2006 - June 2007 - Drove Toyota 4x4 Daily and covered about 36 miles/day and did about 6,000 miles

  11. Source of Electricity Generation Data are acquired by Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA)

  12. Modeling of Well-to-Wheel Energy Consumption(%, relative to gasoline vehicles fueled) Using Argonne National Laboratory, GREET 1.8b

  13. Modeling of Well-to-Wheel Emissions(%, relative to gasoline vehicles fueled) Using Argonne National Laboratory, GREET 1.8b

  14. Modeling of Well-to-Wheel Emissions in Urban and Rural Areas(%, relative to gasoline vehicles fueled) Using Argonne National Laboratory, GREET 1.8b
