Donald Rumsfeld / Johari window approach to strategic
planning• Known knowns
– Batteries are reducing in price by 20% per year
– Manufacturing scale equals price reductions – think China!
– Government health/environmental regulations
• Known unknown
– Battery research investment = potential technology breakthrough
– AV and/or on-demand services – improved capital pay back
• Unknown unknowns
– Who had heard of Tesla/Elon Musk 10 years ago?

Background on Queensland’s EV initiatives
• The Future is Electric strategy outlines a
number of initiatives to support uptake of EVs.
• Transport and Main Roads the lead agency,
supported by Energy Queensland and EDQ
• Queensland is planning & building an EV
superhighway to enable long distance travel
• Destination charging strategy
• EV infrastructure planning guidelines also
being developed.

The Future is Electric strategy
Focus is on:
• community engagement through
establishing an QEV Council
• infrastructure availability through
building and planning charging
• upfront purchase cost through fleet
group buy schemes, and
• starting a national conversation.

EV benefits for Queensland
• reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• reduced transport costs
• reduced oil dependency
• improved electricity grid utilisation
• improved urban amenity and public health
• protecting and boosting regional tourism.

Key planning principles QLD’s EV Super Highway
1. Plan for a long-distance, long-term EV charging network (build the
dream – drive EV uptake).
2. Establish clear planning principles based on understanding EVs
3. Utilise existing assets (electricity infrastructure, road network and
carparks) - starting point is network capacity (critical!!)
4. Partner with willing public and private hosts – no parking costs.
5. Develop a supporting policy and planning context.
6. Integrate EV charging into planning for future road and energy
networks.

Chargers
• 50kW DC Chargers: CCS Combo 2 and
Chademo cables
• AC Chargers: Twin 22kW sockets

Using existing assets - State Infrastructure Plan
• The Queensland Electric Super Highway project follows the
principles of the SIP:
– Utilise existing asset bases (electricity infrastructure, parking).
– Look at opportunities to partner with the private sector.
– Develop innovative solutions to future infrastructure needs
• Low cost and effective EV superhighway.

Local government planning perspective – Cairns RC
Internal Engagement:
• Infrastructure services- traffic, wayfinding signage, transport strategy, TMP
• Parks – location of switchboards
• Property – Ownership, Trustee permits, road reserve
• Planning & Building– approvals? land use?
• Legal & finance team – contracts, legal, procurement
• Regulated parking – enforcement, revenue, installation, signage
• Economic Development – engagement with industry, fleet, tourism, businesses TTNQ
Drive tourism plan
• Sustainability – local groups interested in renewables, opportunities for solar, promotion.
• Marketing – launch and public awareness
• Management and Council Reps

Local government planning perspective – Cairns RC
External Engagement:
• TTNQ- Drive tourism market
• Ergon
• Energy Queensland
• Economic Development Queensland
• Businesses
• EV Suppliers
• Hotels
• More industry engagement to come

Queensland Electric Super Highway (QESH) implementation
• Phase 1: 18 fast-charging stations by end of 2017
• Future phases: further fast-charging stations in 2018/9
• Delivered by Energy Qld (merger of Energex and Ergon)
• Total budget of $3m, which includes network upgrades at some
sites
• Energy Qld will own, operate and maintain network of chargers
• Hosts provide the site free of charge, enter into a hosting
agreement with Energy Qld
![Page 23: Infrastructure planning for Electric Vehicles (EVs): How](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b1012d028f2b4191251811/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Investment in EV charging infrastructure
• Number of benefits for Qld to aid transition to electric transport
– Loss leader / Marketing / public infrastructure
– Ultimately a gain for utility for a transition from imported fuel to
domestic electricity
– Protect and boost regional tourism:
• Domestic road-based tourism could be impacted by $234m over 10 years
if EV infrastructure isn’t provided
![Page 24: Infrastructure planning for Electric Vehicles (EVs): How](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b1012d028f2b4191251811/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Other charging networks
• WA, SA, NSW and Victoria all engaging in charging
infrastructure planning
• Inter-operability between charging networks a high priority
• National consistency:
– Cross border EV highway site planning
– Connectors: DC Type 2 chargers/CHAdeMO
– Destination charging networks
– National EV Council
![Page 25: Infrastructure planning for Electric Vehicles (EVs): How](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b1012d028f2b4191251811/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Destination charging stations
• EDQ is funding a regional network
of slower destination chargers.
• Locations where EVs parked for
several hours (e.g. tourism
locations, town centres, beaches).
![Page 26: Infrastructure planning for Electric Vehicles (EVs): How](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b1012d028f2b4191251811/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Destination charging stations
• To complete the EV charging eco-system, EDQ
is funding a regional network of slower
destination chargers.
• Will complement the EV superhighway
• Seek to leverage local government and private
investment into EV infrastructure.
• Will assist fleet transition, promote EV tourism,
increase awareness EVs.
