Fuels and Technology

CEO’s Transportation

Fuels and Technology Team works to accelerate adoption of alternative fuel vehicles through:

Policy and Planning

– make Colorado an attractive place to

own and operate

an alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) and make investments in AFV fueling and charging infrastructure.

Program Management – administer

grant programs that reduce the upfront cost of installing fueling and charging infrastructure.

Outreach and Education – provide information

and technical support to fleets and consumers on the costs and benefits of owning and operating AFVs and investing in infrastructure.

Barriers to

Electric

Vehicle Adoption

The State of Colorado focuses on 3 primary barriers

to electric vehicle (EV) adoption

:

Lack of information on the costs, benefits,

and availability of EVs (and infrastructure).

High

upfront cost (and availability/assignability of grants and other incentives).

Lack of (publicly-accessible) Level II and DC Fast-Charging infrastructure.

Slide9

Charge Ahead Colorado

Partnership between CEO and Regional Air Quality Council.

Grants for community-based Level II and DC fast-charging stations across the state.

Grants for EVs in 7-county metro area (public/non-profit fleet owners).

Slide12

Regional Electric

Vehicle West (REV West)

Signed by 8 Western Governors

Establishes a framework for collaboration on an Intermountain West Electric Corridor.

Develop best practices/voluntary minimum standards for stations, expand access to new EVs, and create consistent charging experience.

Slide14

Colorado’s

Beneficiary Mitigation Plan

Proposes 15%, maximum allowed, for Zero Emission Supply Equipment Program - $10.3 million.

Distributed through existing grant programs – Charge Ahead Colorado and ALT Fuels Colorado.

$3.5 million for community-based Level II and DC fast-charging stations.

$6.8 million for DC fast-charging stations along Colorado’s major transportation corridors.

Slide15

Executive Order D 2017-015

Supporting Colorado’s Clean Energy Transition

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions statewide by more than 26% by 2025, as compared to 2005 levels.

A 25 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector by 2025, as compared to 2012 levels.

A 35 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector by 2030, as compared to 2012 levels.

Achieve electricity savings of 2% of total electricity sales per year by 2020 through cost-effective energy efficiency.

Slide16

Executive Order D 2017-015

Supporting Colorado’s Clean Energy Transition

The Colorado Energy Office, the Regional Air Quality Council, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment are directed to develop, in coordination with other state agencies and in alignment with the Volkswagen Mitigation Trust, a statewide Electric Vehicle plan by January 1, 2018 to build out key charging corridors that will facilitate economic development and boost tourism across the state while reducing harmful air pollution.

Slide17

Colorado Electric Vehicle Plan

Build out key charging corridors that facilitate economic development, boost tourism, and reduce harmful air pollution.

Accelerate adoption of EVs and ensure Colorado remains a leader in the EV market.

Serve as a living document.

Slide18

EV Fast-Charging Corridors

Action #1:

Build out Colorado’s EV fast-charging infrastructure through public-private partnerships and in coordination with other programs and funding sources.

Strategy 1:

In first quarter 2018, CEO will modify its ALT Fuels Colorado program and provide grants to public and private entities to build EV fast-charging corridor stations.

Action #3:

Develop new strategic partnerships that support greater investment in EV fast-charging and increase utilization of charging infrastructure

.

Slide19

EV Fast-Charging Corridors

Action #2:

Support interstate EV travel and a consistent user experience across the Intermountain West

.

Action #3:

Develop new strategic partnerships that support greater investment in EV fast-charging and increase utilization of charging infrastructure

.

Action #5:

Leverage the benefits associated with adoption of EVs by encouraging creative partnerships, increased access, and new infrastructure that support and complement the build-out of Colorado’s EV fast-charging network

.

Slide20

Accelerating EV Adoption

Goal #1:

Increase adoption of EVs in the light duty sector by taking steps to achieve the high growth scenario of approximately 940,000 EVs in Colorado by 2030, as projected in the Colorado EV Market Implementation Study.

Slide21

Accelerating EV Adoption

Goal #3:

Increase the number of public and private employers in Colorado that provide workplace charging to employees

.

Goal #5

:

The State of Colorado will lead by example by accelerating purchase of EVs for agency fleets and investment in EV charging infrastructure

.

Goal #2:

Increase the number of electric transit vehicles in Colorado to 500 by 2030

.

Electric Buses – Benefits

Air Quality Improvements:

Electric buses reduce tailpipe emissions, reducing CO

2

and improving air quality in cities.

Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)

: In certain configurations electric buses have a lower TOC than comparable diesel or CNG buses.

Noise reduction and reduced downtime

: Electric buses run more quietly, reducing noise pollution. Electric buses also require less maintenance.

I

ndustrial policy considerations:

Job creation linked to production and supporting industries is an important consideration.

Slide25

Electric Buses – Barriers

High upfront costs

: May require a change in the procurement approach from purchase to lease while focusing more on lower TOC. Lease or loan payments could be covered with operational savings.

Scalability

: Most of the electric buses have been purchased with support from national and regional grants. This is not scalable. The upfront cost of e-buses will have to become more cost competitive.Flexibility and operational experience: Electric buses can be less flexible than diesel buses due to their range and reliance on different charging options.

Electricity charges, grid issues: Concerns about electricity rates/demand charges, space required for charging infrastructure.
