2 Introduction Electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) have gained attention, especially in the context of growing concerns about global warming and energy security aspects associated with road transport. The main characteristic of EDVs is that the torque is supplied to the wheels by an electric motor that is powered either solely by a battery or in combination with an internal combustion engine. This covers hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), but also photovoltaic electric vehicles (PVEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). As part of its transport and energy modelling activity, IPTS initiated research work with a view to assess the economic and environmental impacts for the EU27 of a future market penetration of those car technologies, with a focus on BEVs and PHEVs. As a starting step, IPTS reviewed the literature and prepared this report which provides a summary description of the technology aspects, the current state of the research and development in the field. It also elaborates consistent sets of data about the vehicle technologies in view of the subsequent modelling work to undertake the assessment. The report also identifies a series of areas where more data and assessment are needed. This report also represents a first IPTS contribution to a JRC horizontal project involving IE and IES.

3 Technological components 3.1 General definitions

To be more precise, the following definitions are used this report: Battery Electric Vehicles refer to vehicles propelled solely by electric motors. The source of power stems from the chemical energy stored in battery packs which can be recharged on the electricity grid. The future of such vehicles strongly depends on the battery developments (performance and cost). Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles refer to vehicles that can use, independently or not, fuel and electricity, both of them rechargeable from external sources. PHEVs can be seen as an intermediate technology between BEVs and HEVs. It can indeed be considered as either a BEV supplemented with an internal combustion engine (ICE) to increase the driving range, or as a conventional HEV where the all-electric range is extended as a result of larger battery packs that can be recharged from the grid. As an example, the IEEE1 (board of directors, 2007) defines a PHEV as ''any hybrid electric vehicle which contains at least: (1) a battery storage system of 4 kWh or more, used to power the motion of the vehicle; (2) a means of recharging that battery system from an external 1 http://www.ieeeusa.com/policy/POSITIONS/PHEV0607.pdf

source of electricity; and (3) an ability to drive at least ten miles in all-electric mode, and consume no gasoline. These are distinguished from hybrid cars mass-marketed today, which do not use any electricity from the grid.'' A large range of options are currently developed that vary in terms of power train architecture, energy mode management, battery type, that can influence the energy performance and costs.

3.2 Power train architecture

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle can be designed with the same types of technological architecture as current hybrid vehicles, namely series-hybrid, parallel-hybrid, or combined series-parallel hybrid (split):

• Series-Hybrid: this configuration is to be associated with electric cars since only the electric motor provides power to drive the wheels. Sources of electrical energy are either the battery pack (or ultra capacitors) or a generator powered by a thermal engine. An example of PHEV series is the famous Chevrolet Volt developed by General Motors2. Such vehicles are also called Extended-Range Electric Vehicles.

• Parallel-Hybrid: in this case, both the electric motor and thermal engine can provide

power in parallel to the same transmission.

• Power split or series/parallel hybrid: this configuration combines the advantages of both parallel and series hybrid concepts. This is for instance the architecture implemented in the Toyota Prius model (Hybrid Synergy Drive). This relatively complex architecture allows running the vehicle in an optimal way by using the electric motors only, or both the ICE and the electric motors together, depending on the driving conditions.

Figure 1 provides an illustration of the PHEV configuration.

3.3 Energy management

When driven, the BEV and PHEV State of Charge (SOC) – i.e. the fraction of total energy capacity remaining in the battery - varies within a certain window, given by the difference between maximum and minimum SOC. The technological advantage of PHEVs stems from its capability of driving on different energy modes, resulting in different SOC levels. Two basic modes are possible (see e.g. [Market and Simpson, 2006] and [EERE, 2007]):

• In the Charge Depleting operating mode (CD), the vehicle is powered only or almost only by the energy stored in the battery, and the battery's SOC gradually decreases up to a minimum level (which depends on the battery size). The vehicle thus mostly behaves as an electric car, which particularly suits to urban driving [Shiau et al., 2009]. This mode can actually operate in two ways: under the "CD blended mode", the ICE is turned on. Under the "CD all electric' mode", the ICE is turned off.

• During the Charge sustaining mode (CS), the SOC over a driving profile may increase and decrease but will, on the average, remain at its initial level. The battery's SOC is maintained within an operating range and can be recharged through regenerative braking and from the ICE. In this case, PHEVs behaves as conventional HEVs.

Depending on the driving conditions, the two modes can be combined over the distance travelled in such a way as to reap the full advantage of the PHEV and extend the driving range. This is illustrated in Figure 2. The resulting discharge cycle will influence the total energy demand over the distance travelled and the environmental performance. In practice, the feasible combination will depend on how often and where the driver could charge his vehicle from the grid, on the driving cycles, etc. However, at some point the vehicle needs to rely on fuel to extend the driving range and then switches to the so-called 'Charge Sustaining' CS mode.

PHEVs are differentiated according to their All-electric range (AER) i.e. the distance driven electrically up to the point at which the ICE engine first turns on. It can be also defined as the distance travelled before the vehicle switches from charge-depleting to charge-sustaining operation [Gonder and Simpson, 2007]. This is measured for a reference driving cycle, usually on urban driving cycle. The notation "PHEVx" is commonly used to specify the PHEVs AER. For instance a PHEV30 corresponds to a PHEV with a 30 miles electric range. Typical PHEVs AER are in the range 20-60 miles. The PHEVx notation is more indicative for the case where, in practice, a PHEV would operate on all-electric CD mode over the first x kilometres, and after in CS mode3. But this definition is less appropriate if a PHEV operating in CD blended mode for which both electricity and gasoline are used to power the vehicle. In this case, it would be more convenient to define the suffix x as the equivalent distance of petroleum-based fuel displaced by electricity from the battery [Gonder and Simpson, 2007]. It has also to be noted that, in practice, the real world driving behaviour and energy management mode will influence the actual driven distance. Therefore, a given AER doesn't mean that the vehicle may or may not actually drive the corresponding distance electrically. 3 This is the case for instance of the Chevrolet Volt (hybrid series) whose the ICE is used as backup source of energy to provide onboard electricity when the batteries reach their lower bound limit SOC.

3.4 Batteries

Battery performance and cost are essential factors for the development of electric vehicles. The present chapter provides a brief description of current progress and potential evolution of the different aspects concerned.

3.4.1 Key parameters Batteries design variables include (see e.g. [Axsen, 2008; Anderson, 2008; Anderson, 2009]): Energy The energy storage capacity (kWh) is of high importance since it will directly determine the distance the vehicle can drive on the CD mode, as well as the mass of the battery pack. For PHEVs, the energy storage requirement considered in the literature typically varies from ~6

9

kWh to 30 kWh depending on the CD range (compared to 1-2 kWh for conventional hybrids and 30-50 kWh for BEVs). The energy storage capacity represents the 'available' or 'total' energy capacity depending on whether the SOC window is taken into account or not (e.g. a 10 kWh of total energy capacity operating with a 65% charge swing would have only 6.5 kWh of available energy). Generally, the battery usable energy increases linearly with the CD range [Rousseau et al., 2007]. Both high specific energy (Wh/kg) and energy density (Wh/l) – i.e. the ratio of the total energy (Wh) to the battery mass (kg)/volume (l) – is crucial to achieve high energy storage capacity without entailing significant additional mass/volume. Power The peak battery power (W) required primarily depends on the CD range, the CD energy management mode and on the total vehicle weight. For instance, a PHEVx operating in CD blended mode would require less power than the one operating in CD all-electric mode. The peak power is generally assumed to remain constant as the AER increases [Rousseau et al., 2007]. Note also that the P/E ratio decreases with increased AER (hyperbolic behavior). This is due to the linear relationship between the available battery energy and the AER, although the power remains nearly constant as AER increases (see e.g. [Rousseau et al., 2007]). Lifetime, safety, costs and others

• Calendar life: it is defined as the 'ability of the battery to withstand degradation over time' [Axsen et al., 2008]. 10-15 years is generally assumed to be a sufficient calendar life4.

• Cycle life. Lifetime requirements depend on the energy management mode (i.e. CD and/or CS modes) and therefore the number of micro and full discharged cycles. As HEVs operate in CS mode, they require sufficient micro-cycles which is not the case for BEVs which need sufficient full (deep) cycle life (CD mode exclusively). PHEVs batteries must comply with both characteristics which is quite challenging. They should be able to undergo deep discharge cycles during the CD mode (probably 3-5 thousand deep discharge cycles are a reasonable target) and shallow cycles in the CS mode.

• Safety and thermal management requirements (meet safety standards, crash worthiness, etc.).

• Cost of the battery pack (in €/kWh and in €/kW). The battery cost increases with extending all-electric range. It remains the main barrier for the deployment of PHEVs.

• Usable SOC window (%). The SOC window has slight impact on the fuel consumption but can significantly impact the costs. It has to be maximised while satisfying cycle and calendar life requirements [Markel and Simpson, 2006].

• Recharge time (h). Fast recharge times are necessary for PHEVs, but this also affects the life of the battery.

4 As pointed out by [Pesaran, 2007] 'currently CARB requires 10 years warranty for AT PZEV batteries but most consumers expect the batteries to last the average life of vehicles, i.e. 15 years'.

10

• Life cycle issues (e.g. availability of lithium resource, recycling).

• Influence of vehicle mass: the vehicle mass (through additional battery weight) slightly increases with the AER, but this effect is somewhat limited. Note that the electricity consumption (in Wh/km) increases linearly with the vehicle mass, around 6-7 Wh/km for every 100 kg in vehicle mass added [Rousseau et al., 2007].

3.4.2 State of the art and anticipated developments Battery performances Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are the current typical batteries used by car manufacturers in mass-produced HEVs (e.g. Toyota).

However NiMH batteries are considered to have reached their maximum potential. For the future, experts do not expect significant new technical improvements and cost reductions (see e.g. [Anderman, 2008; Kalhammer et al., 2007; Kromer and Heywood, 2007]). Car makers are moving to lithium-ion5 batteries, especially because they offer energy density higher than what NiMH batteries do. They are also characterised by the absence of memory effects and low self-discharge rate. They are seen as the best option to meet the energy storage requirements not only for PHEVs, but also for BEVs and HEVs, at least in the short to medium term. Li-ion batteries offer a wide field of new developments and have not yet achieved the same maturity level as for NiMH batteries (see Figure 4). As underlined by the IEA [IEA, 2007] ''for PHEV, the key additional breakthrough appears to be lithium-ion battery technology, as the energy density has continued to improve in recent years. At the same time, the energy density of other battery technology has remained constant''. Even if R&D efforts are still needed to cope with longevity and safety problems (see e.g. [Kalhammer et al., 2007; Karden et al., 2007]) Li-ion batteries have been testing intensively worldwide and are already used on many PHEV prototypes.

Improvements in specific energy of Li-ion batteries are crucial for their deployment. Different goals regarding battery performances of PHEVs have been set by the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), the MIT and EPRI [Axsen et al., 2008]. The USABC considered two battery types: a high power/energy ratio battery providing 10 miles of AER (PHEV10) in a SUV vehicle of 1950 kg and a low-power energy ratio battery providing 40 miles of AER (PHEV40) in a midsize sedan of 1600 kg. The MIT analyzed the goals for a midsized sedan with a 30 miles CD range in blended mode. EPRI considered a PHEV20 and PHEV60 midsized sedan.

Different driven cycles were considered: USABC used the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS), MIT used UDDS as well as the Highway Fuel Economy Test (HWFET) and US06 schedules (part of the Supplemental Federal Test Procedure that is characterized by being more aggressive) and finally EPRI used a driven cycle that included the other ones (UDDS and HWFET). In all cases, the battery goals covered power, energy, life and cost goals. These goals are dependent on the assumptions made about PHEV design, drive cycle, vehicle and battery weight and recharge behaviour.

Table 1: PHEV assumptions and battery 'goals' (long-term development)

Source: [Axsen et al., 2008] Battery costs: current trend and expectations

The cost of Li-ion batteries (i.e. at cell, module or pack level) includes material cost (e.g. anode/cathode materials), manufacturing cost and other costs (e.g. R&D, marketing, transportation). Material costs account for ~75% of the total battery pack cost while manufacturing and other costs represent around 5% and 20% respectively. For a more thorough analysis of battery-related costs, see e.g. [Anderson, 2009].

A list of current Li-ion battery costs is given in Table 2 [Petersen, 2009]. Current prices are in the range of 700-1000 $/kWh or even higher.

Table 2: Current price of Li-ion batteries Source: [Petersen, 2009]

The high production volumes already achieved today suggest that Li-ion battery costs could significantly decline in the short term (see e.g. [Sanna, 2005]). It is for instance expected that Li-ion battery cost would fall as low as 395 $/kWh and 260 $/kWh for a PHEV10 and a PHEV40 respectively with 100000 units produced [Kalhammer et al., 2007]. The battery cost goal set by the USABC range from 300 $/kWh to $200/kWh for the PHEV10 and PHEV40 respectively. The MIT estimates that the commercialization of a PHEV30 requires a cost as low as 320 $/kWh. The U.S. Department of Energy' goal is 250 $/kWh by the year 2015. According to [Kammen et al., 2008], PHEVs would become cost efficient to consumers if battery prices would decrease from 1300 $/kWh to about 500 $/kWh (so that the battery may pay for itself).

It is however not yet proven that costs will reduce in such a scale. Despite already important production volumes, costs remained constant over last 9 years [Petersen, 2009]. It is thus not guaranteed that the above-mentioned targets will be met.

Li-ion battery costs are expected to remain lower than NiMH batteries but the range of 600-700 $/kWh is seen more realistic in the short to medium term (see e.g. [Anderman, 2008]). Figure 5 shows a possible (rather optimistic) evolution of Li-ion battery pack cost for PHEV-40 by 2010 and 2020.

(2) 28 modules weighting 1040 g each Variation of parameters vs. AER All other things being equal, extending the AER of PHEV (e.g. from 20 to 60 miles) will modify some parameters as follows:

• The peak power (W) is generally assumed to remain constant with the AER, but can vary depending whether we consider CD all-electric or blended mode.

• The energy capacity (kWh) varies linearly with the AER (see Figure 6), whose the slope is function of the vehicle mass (category).

• The battery pack weight increases with the AER, typically from 70 kg (PHEV20) to 190 kg (PHEV60).

• The electricity consumption (Wh/km) is assumed to increase linearly with the vehicle mass (around 6-7 Wh/km for every 100 kg added, see e.g. [Rousseau et al., 2007]) with a similar slope for each vehicle category.

4 Tank-to-wheel energy performance 4.1 Introduction

The comparison of the energy performance of EDVs with conventional ICE or with HEV technologies has to be made on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis, considering the final energy required to drive the power-train (TTW), and the indirect energy consumption by the upstream energy transformation processes (WTT part). The WTT energy consumption from ICE cars accounts for all the processes from oil extraction to refinery processes. In the case of BEVs, the WTT energy use stems from the generation of the electricity used to drive the car. In the case of PHEVs, the WTT energy consumption from both fuel and electricity production has to be taken into consideration. The WTT energy use part - and resulting GHG emissions - attributed to electricity generation will depend on the power generation mix and on the time when the electricity is consumed to recharge the battery. These factors will be analysed in a subsequent assessment. Therefore, the following concentrates on the TTW aspects (or final energy consumption). As a result of its ability to drive a certain distance on CD mode, PHEVs have the potential to avoid fuel consumption. The "fuel displacement" is commonly referred to in the literature characterizing the energy performance of PHEVs6. This information is primarily relevant when energy security aspects are looked at. Fuel displacement - and, replacement with electricity consumption -, indeed means a more diversified energy supply mix. The sole indication about the fuel displacement may however be misleading as the fuel consumption avoided (compared to a reference car – be it a conventional ICE or a hybrid car) doesn't necessarily mean that the "fuel displaced" is substituted by a same amount of electricity. A full energy performance assessment of PHEV implies to quantify both the fuel and the electricity consumptions over the considered distance driven. Compared to BEVs (that exclusively use electricity) and to HEVs (for which fuel is the sole source of energy7), the final energy consumption equation for PHEV is more complex. As illustrated in Figure 7, it will depend on the distance travelled on all-electric range, which will be influenced by both the charging pattern and the driving behaviour. 6 The fuel displacement rate is defined as:

REF

PHEVREFf

ffFD −= where REFf and PHEVf denote the fuel consumption of the reference

vehicle and of the PHEV respectively. 7 For HEVs, an amount of fossil fuels is 'indirectly' displaced through on-board production of electricity (e.g. regenerative braking).

Figure 7: Level of complexity to consider when assessing the energy performance of PHEVs

Assessing the final energy consumption of PHEVs implies to take into account the following factors:

• Driving cycle (urban, highways, combined) • The CD mode energy management (CD 'blended' or CD 'all-electric'). This is linked to

the power train configuration (series, parallel, split). • The daily distance travelled on CD mode which depends on charging (location, time

of the day, frequency) and driving patterns (e.g. average daily distance travelled). Also, the fuel displacement rate with PHEVs (i.e. based on the annual AER) will increase when the energy storage capacity is extended (PHEV60 offers more potential than PHEV20).

4.2 Literature review

Most of the research studies assessing the energy performance of PHEVs have been undertaken by American research bodies, notably by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the U.S. DoE, the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) but also by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Several studies (see Table 5) analysed the quantity of fuel displaced for different PHEV configurations, under different assumptions (e.g. charging time, driving models, market penetration rates, etc.). Different approaches are used, including tests and modelling (e.g. ADVISOR, PAMVEC models). All of them concluded that the use of PHEV would displace a large quantity of fuels.

The fuel displacement potentials reported in the literature were reviewed by [Dowds et al., 2009] and are shown in Figure 8. The fuel displacement rates are associated with PHEV10, PHEV20 and PHEV40 and were found to range from 42% to 78% relative to ICEs and from 12% to 66% relative to HEVs [Dowds et al., 2009]. Such ranges are also confirmed by other research works. It is worth mentioning that the different estimates obtained in a same study (see e.g. [EPRI/NRDC, 2007]) illustrate the large influence of the assumptions made.

(B), the PHEV is charged more frequently and a higher proportion of VMT is based on electricity, increasing the relative gasoline displacement.

Medium and long-term energy performances of PHEVs (2030-2050) have been analysed and compared with a reference vehicle. [MIT, 2008] estimated that in 2035, a PHEV50 would consume around 1.5 l/100km (TTW gasoline consumption only, electricity usage not included) which is roughly four times lower than a gasoline ICE at the same year and five times lower than a current gasoline ICE. The results of the EPRI study [EPRI/NRDC, 2007] are summarized in Table 6.

4.3 How to measure the final energy consumption of PHEVs?

The ability of PHEVs to drive independently (or not) from electrical and/or chemical energy make their fuel efficiency assessment a complex task. As underlined by [Silva et al., 2009], there is no worldwide consensus on how to fairly calculate them. The SAEJ1711 recommended practice8 proposes a methodology for measuring the fuel consumption and standard emissions of PHEVs for different driving cycles. New improvements have been subsequently proposed by several research works [Silva et al., 2009; Gonder and Simpson, 2007]. In the following, the emphasis is put on key aspects for evaluating the energy efficiency of PHEVs. Influence of the CD mode energy strategy control

• CD all-electric The CD all-electric mode means that no fuel is burnt over the first x kilometres driven on CD mode while it starts steadily increasing when the engine is turn on so as to achieve the energy performance of a HEV (CS mode). This results in an asymptotic behaviour, as shown in Figure 9. This is for instance the case of PHEV series (e.g. GM Chevrolet Volt).

Figure 9: Fuel consumption as a function of distance driven between two full charging events Source: [Shiau et al., 2009]

• CD blended

The Argonne National Laboratory analysed the energy use of PHEVs [Elgowainy et al., 2009] based on different simulations9. They calculated the average fuel consumption of the engine in CD (blended) and CS modes based on weighting factors of 55% and 45% for the fuel consumption over an urban driving cycle (UDDS) and a highway driving cycle (HWFET) 8 SAE J1711-MAR1999., Recommended practice for measuring the exhaust emissions and fuel economy of hybrid electric vehicles, March 1999. 9 From the Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT)

respectively. The results are presented in Table 7 and compared with the corresponding ICE and HEV as reference vehicles.

The resulting profiles are similar to those from Figure 9, at the exception that the CD mode is assumed here to operate in blended mode (i.e. not 100% electric, gasoline is also used to power the vehicle during the CD range).

Figure 10: Average fuel consumption (electricity excluded) as a function of distance

(own calculations based on [Elgowainy et al., 2007])

Average daily distance travelled: Utility Factor The above estimations provide the fuel consumption as a function of the distance travelled. Realistic estimates of the average daily (or annual) fuel and electricity consumption by a PHEV will depend on the average daily distance travelled and on the likely distances driven in CD mode and CS mode respectively. For instance, [Silva et al., 2009] report the following average commuting distances: 30 km for the U.S., 5-30 km for Europe and 20 km for Japan. In their analysis, a 20 km average distance was assumed. Considering that around half the passenger cars in the U.S. drives less than 25 miles (40 km) a day and 80% less than 50 km (see e.g. [Sanna, 2005]), this distance could be easily covered by PHEVs running on the sole electric power (considering an AER of typically 30-100 km). They conclude that if the vehicle is daily recharged, large amount of fuel could be displaced annually.

21

Given a distribution of driven distances in a region considered, the share of kilometres travelled on all-electric over the year has to be determined to estimate the fuel displacement. The estimates made at national level in the literature introduce the Utility Factor (UF) which is defined as the ratio of the vehicle-km driven on all-electric over the total annual vehicle-km.

The total fuel consumed (fuel equivalent) per year is then given by:

)1(** UFFUFFF CSCDTOT −+= where FCD and FCS are the fuel consumed during CD and CS operation modes respectively. Typically, the shortest the daily trips, the higher the utility factor will be since most of the distance will be driven on electric mode (depending of course on the AER capability of the PHEV). The typical utility factor in U.S. is estimated to be around 50% for a PHEV with a 50 km AER (see e.g. [MIT, 2008]). [EPRI/NRDC, 2007] assumes the utility factors to be 12%, 49% and 66% respectively for PHEV10, PHEV20 and PHEV40 (in miles). An example of UF curve is given in Figure 11 for the U.S. [Elgowainy et al., 2009]. These indicative UF could be used as a first estimate for Europe but EU specific estimations should be made later. A first indication to this end relates to the shares of the different road modes in the annual distance driven. The assumptions in TREMOVE for the year 2005 are as follows: 19%, 58% and 23% of vkm are driven on respectively urban motorways, non urban roads and urban roads. If urban and non urban roads are assumed to be linked to short distance trip, it can be concluded that ~80% of the total distance driven consist in short distance trips.

22

Influence of charging patterns As seen before, the charging pattern of PHEV users is of high importance. Questions are how often, where and at what time of the day would the battery be recharged? These factors introduce a non-negligible level of complexity for assessing the energy performance of PHEVs. Many studies assume that the vehicle will be recharged at home every day, mainly overnight. But such an assumption could significantly distort the results, and, possibly overestimate the benefits of PHEVs.

4.4 Energy performance of EDVs: first estimations

A simplified model has been elaborated in order to derive first estimates of the total energy consumption (electric and chemical energy) of different vehicles, and to provide a comparison with the current new conventional cars purchased in Europe. The following describes first, the reference cars considered, and then, the assumptions made to calculate the energy consumption of the corresponding PHEVs. Three AER values are considered, respectively 20, 40, and 60 miles. The estimates correspond to "type-approval values". In the following, the focus is on the medium-size car segment, which in terms of typical conventional car engine size is in the range 1400-2000 cc. However some background information about other vehicle size segments is also referred to (reference cars). This leaves the possibility to later extend the estimates for the other relevant segments. This should cover the upper segment (>2000 cc). On the other hand, one could wonder whether if PHEV will significantly penetrate the market in the lower segment (<1400 cc). Given the additional cost, the new technology would indeed be proportionally excessive for a significant market penetration. Also, it could be considered that where small cars are predominantly driven in urban areas, BEVs could be the most logical step made by the consumer. It has to be stressed that the approach followed here could subsequently be refined (in the light of better and more complete data and of better understanding of the technology aspects). Refinements could consist in better modelling to reflect effects such as driving cycles (urban versus non-urban, etc.), real-world driving patterns (effects of speed, acceleration), driving charging pattern (charging frequency). One option for that could be to use existing data to better model the CS mode, in the light of existing measurements of existing HEV car models.

4.4.1 Reference cars energy performance and cost The reference cars are defined in terms of their fuel consumption on the basis of the data about CO2 emissions given by the European monitoring database. The latest data available, at the disaggregated level (vehicle size segmentation) is for the year 2006 and is used in TREMOVE. Correction factors are used in TREMOVE to adjust these emissions for the following years.

23

Table 8 gives the corresponding fuel consumption (MJ/km) for conventional cars and for HEVs in the medium-class segment. The figure corresponding to the medium gasoline car was derived from the type-approval emission value for the second generation Toyota Prius (104 g/km). The values for the other car segments are first indicative estimates of what the hybrid power train technology would result, in relative terms, in a fuel efficiency improvement similar to what is expected for the medium-gasoline car.

4.4.2 Battery specifications

The battery characteristics considered are based on the ranges given in section 3.4.3.

4.4.3 Energy efficiency

• CD mode energy strategy

The definition of Charge Depleting mode (CD) refers to a CD all-electric mode, meaning that the vehicle will drive the first x kilometres on the battery energy and turns on the engine when the battery has reached its minimum SOC level (CS mode). This implicitly assumes that the batteries are charged every day. Such energy management strategy is mainly the one used by PHEV series (e.g. GM Chevrolet Volt) for which the vehicle is basically an electric vehicle equipped with a backup source of energy (petroleum-based or even biomass-based fuels).

Several assumptions are needed to estimate the electricity consumed over the CD range (kWh/km). For BEVs, the electricity efficiency is derived from [Perujo and Ciuffo, 2009] while for PHEVs, it is (first assumption) fixed at 123 Wh/km [Silva et al., 2009].

BEV Small 100 Medium 154 Big 194

Table 9: Electricity consumption for BEVs (Wh/km) Source: [Perujo and Ciuffo, 2009]

• Energy efficiency over the CS mode

Once the CD mode is over, the engine is turned on and the vehicle is assumed to behave as a conventional hybrid (Charge Sustaining) mode. Therefore fuel consumption in CS mode is assumed to be provided by Table 8.

24

Remark: The effect of battery mass increment as a result of increased AER was not taken into account in the calculation. Figure 12 shows the calculated energy consumption over a 50 km distance for different vehicles in the case of the medium-size car. Over the distance considered, due to the larger AER, PHEV40 and PHEV 60 (but also the BEV) have much lower final energy consumptions compared with the PHEV20.

Figure 13: Gasoline equivalent consumption vs. total driving distance

Given the fact that, on the average, 80% of the EU passenger car traffic takes place on urban and non urban roads (the rest is in motorways), it can be considered, as a first approximation, that this urban traffic represents 20-50 km average daily distance trips. Highway traffic typical trip distance would be of the order of magnitude of 100 km.

25

The average fuel consumption (MJ/km) derived from the above approach for those two typical trip distances are given in Table 10 below. These values would represent a first input in view of the modelling work with TREMOVE and TIMES.

5 Vehicle costs 5.1 Literature review

Compared to ICE cars, PHEVs cars entail additional manufacturing and maintenance costs:

• Manufacturer costs result from engine and transmission, motor/inverter, controller, battery and charger as well as certain vehicle upgrades. In total, the additional manufacturer costs are reported in a range $4000-10000 compared to conventional gasoline vehicles, and roughly 10-30% higher than for conventional HEVs ($2000-4000 for a sedan; greater than $5000 for a SUV). Cost of batteries accounts for the higher contribution (~50%) and obviously increases with the battery storage capacity as determined by the AER (see e.g. [Pesaran and Markel, 2007]).

• Maintenance costs mainly depend on the battery replacement frequency: around 80000

km for lead acid batteries and around 240000 km (150000 miles) for Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries.

Costs comparisons are found in the literature for near-term and long-term horizons (see Table 11). This shows a wide range of additional cost estimations when compared with the corresponding conventional ICE car, but overall, the expected extra costs are important for all 3 time horizons. Costs are expected to decline over time and the expected decline seems to be the biggest over the mid-term. One needs however to ensure that the different sources have comparable assumptions behind the different figures.

Those important extra manufacturing costs will obviously largely determine the future commercialization of PHEVs. It has to be noted that the above figures assume that costs of conventional cars will not change over time although one could assume that those cars are likely to be fitted with new abatement technologies (e.g. extra downsizing) which could entail manufacturing cost changes. The overall picture needs also to be looked at, considering all costs components, including maintenance and fuel costs. Such a comparison was made by [Karplus et al., 2009], considering a PHEV30, and using the long-term cost estimates and energy performance from [Simpson, 2006]. He derived a 8 year payback period.

5.2 Vehicle cost comparison for the EU

The above discussed cost figures provided a first overview of the costs compared to a corresponding ICE car for which characteristics are representative of the US market. Using those values as such for Europe could give a wrong picture and it is thus necessary to use the available information the appropriate context.

28

Similar to what was done for the energy consumption in section 4.4, the following elaborates a simple approach to derive vehicle cost estimations for BEVs and PHEVs for typical car models purchased in Europe. This is illustrated with the medium-gasoline car model. As a first step, the EU27 sales-weighted average manufacturing cost for the ICE petrol new car purchased in 2006 is derived from the TREMOVE model (€11706). Costs for the corresponding hybrid car are then derived from the recent report by the AEA [AEA, 2009]. This report has reviewed the potential and costs to reduce emissions from cars, considering conventional ICE abatement technologies and hybrid power train. Cost curves are given, giving the abatement cost as a function of the CO2 emission reductions from the current new conventional car (year 2006). The emission reduction level assumed for the medium car is derived from the second generation Toyota Prius (type approval emissions: 104 g CO2/km). The corresponding extra manufacturing cost is €2800. Based on assumed battery costs (see section 3.4) and assumed battery power, the extra costs for PHEVs are derived (see Table 12).

6 Battery charging options and infrastructures 6.1 Introduction

The incremental vehicle costs together with the availability and incurred costs from possible battery charging parameters will largely determine the large scale deployment of BEVs and PHEVs and, also, its effects on e.g. the electricity grid and sector. This will also determine the real environmental benefit stemming from the fuel displacement to electricity. Infrastructure geographical availability can for instance influence the required on-board energy storage energy capacity and vehicle performances. Battery charging aspects include various interlinked issues, which are discussed in the following sections:

1. Which technical solutions and infrastructures will be available and will be implemented and, at what costs?

2. How and when the car owner will most likely charge the empty batteries?

3. Which options can be realistically used by electric utilities to remotely control the aggregated charging curve to best match with the electricity production mix?

6.2 Battery charging options

Battery recharging requires different equipments: the physical recharging interface (the 'plug' or inductive\conductive plate) and recharging protocols (the conversation between the vehicle and a fast charger) and also, in case of plug-in, a suitable connection to the electric grid must be provided. The design of the charger and the charging infrastructure are different in each country according to the electric infrastructure. PHEVs have been designed using conductive or inductive chargers. While inductive chargers have the advantage of intrinsic safety and pre-existing infrastructure, the conductive ones have efficiency advantages (87% charger efficiency [Pratt, 2007]), are generally lighter weight and more compact and can allow for bidirectional power flow [Bradley and Frank, 2009]. In Europe a direct conductive connection is preferred to the inductive connection which is often used in USA and Japan. The power demand on the grid by a PHEV will be a function of the voltage and amperage of the connection to the grid. Three possible methods can be implemented to recharge the battery. In a charge infrastructure review, [Morrow et al., 2008] describes three charge "levels" defined by the US Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI):

• The level 1 method uses the US standard 120 VAC, 15A or 20A branch circuit, used in the residential and commercial buildings. This delivers a 1.44 kW maximum power. This method would for the user, to install a new dedicated circuit to avoid overload. This is the most immediate solution.

30

• The level 2 method is based on a 240VAC, single phase, branch circuit with up to 40A, requiring a dedicated circuit. Under 15A, the maximum charge power would be 3.3 kW. This method could be implemented for both residential and public charging.

• The level 3 is the method suitable for fast charging through public facilities, based on 480 VAC, three-phase circuit, and enabling 60-150 kW charging power. This option implies a number of specific safety precautions.

Level 2 method would be enough to ensure a "rich" charging infrastructure. In addition to these charging facilities, options are also currently envisaged to make the charging even faster and, also save the driver to charge the battery himself. Such option consists in changing the discharged battery packs by charged battery packs. However, this case requires an important infrastructure to store, monitor, recharge…etc, batteries. Table 13 summarises the technical features, infrastructure requirement and costs implied by the different charging methods. The costs include labour, material and permit costs.

It has to be noted that charging implies transmission and distribution loss (around 8%, see e.g. [Pratt, 2007]).

6.3 Expected recharging time and implied charging infrastructure

The expected recharging time, together with the car use pattern itself should ideally be assessed in the light of known car trip and built infrastructure settlement. The immediate expectation is that PHEVs would be charged overnight on a standard 220V outlet, in garages for instance10. This would, in most cases, result in the optimal aggregated battery charging profile as it would be associated with low demand (off peak period). This assumption could however be too simplistic for different reasons. On the one hand, owners of houses with garage are more likely to live away from urban zones where BEV/PHEV cars are the most likely driven. On the other hand, if this represents the sole charging option, this could represent a limitation to the large scale penetration of those new cars. The assumptions that recharging would occur after each trip and overnight are contradicted by surveys made on a (limited11) sample of early PHEV in the U.S. (see e.g. [Morrow et al, 2008]) which instead suggested that only 19% resulted in a charge event and the vehicles were predominantly charged during daytimes hours. In general, it is suggested that the preferred time for charging (in the absence of any incentives) is likely to be as soon as they are within easy access to a plug. Incentives to modify customer choices include electricity pricing schemes favouring nighttimes. [Morrow et al., 2008] also used the US National Household Travel Survey12 to assess possible scenarios about battery infrastructures, suggesting that:

• ~65 km of charge-depleting range is necessary on an average PHEV if no infrastructure is available outside of the owner's primary residence.

• The range could be lowered to ~20 km if public charging infrastructure is available. The availability of public charging would thus make PHEV driving more flexible but would also result in a reduced required onboard energy storage capacity, with also consequences on the energy performance and costs of the vehicle. The deployment of such infrastructures is actually already planned or initiated in various countries. The costs of the public infrastructure of course need to be considered to conclude on the net cost efficiency of that option. [Morrow et al., 2008] also conclude that "the overall transportation system cost can be reduced by providing rich charging infrastructure rather than compensating for lean infrastructure with additional battery size and range. Beyond the initial cost savings, the far shorter life of a battery versus charging infrastructure ensures that infrastructure will continue to accrue savings over its operating life." The questions to be addressed are then which is the station density needed (for a given market penetration) and who should bear the costs of the infrastructures, especially in case Government decide on its deployment. 10 In the US, more than 30% of households park their vehicles in a garage or carport [Santini, 2006]. 11 9 vehicles only 12 Bureau of Transportation statistics: http://www.bts.gov/help/national_household_travel_survey.html (last data for 2001-2002).

32

When evaluating charging options in EU, infrastructure scenarios would include:

• Residential garage charging • Apartment complex charging • Public facility charging, including e.g. workplaces, public parking, dedicated

recharging stations


• Use EU or MS related surveys to conform above assumptions • Check EU terminology if any to characterize the different charging methods • Station network density needed (for a given market penetration) • Who would bear the costs of the infrastructures, especially in case Government

decides on its deployment? • Document the different national plans

7 Impacts on, and role of electricity grid operators 7.1 Introduction

Different aspects of the electricity grid and power generation could be impacted by a large scale penetration of EDVs. For instance, if batteries from a growing electric-drive vehicle fleet are not predominantly charged overnight, this could result in an inefficient marginal electricity generation.

• [Dowds et al., 2009] discusses some possible physical impacts on the transmission and distribution system impacts. Transformers for instance could be subject to increased average operating temperatures under an additional load such that required by EDVs. This could shorten their life, thus adding costs to the electricity grid.

• If the aggregated battery charging profile includes a significant coverage of the on-peak period, this would of course result in potential power supply shortage and, in any case to the generation of the least efficient electricity units.

• The main environmental arguments about EDV come from the idea that their batteries should be storing electricity from the lowest carbon emitting sources, namely nuclear energy and renewable energy. Regarding the last source, the challenge is then to make the two demand and supply load curves coincide.

Depending on both the battery load curve - which depends on the time for recharging and charging power - and how far and innovative management methods are exploited by the electricity grid operators, the electricity transport and generation capacity will be impacted by the new vehicle fleet. In the absence of such management method, and without upgraded generation capacity, according to the study made by [Hardley, 2006] for the region covering South Carolina, North Carolina and one part of Virgina, the likelihood that generation amounts will not be sufficient to meet demand could be slightly increased with the introduction of EDV up to 7.9 days in 10 years (6.1 days in 10 years without EDV penetration). Those concerns make that the operators of the electricity grid have to deploy new techniques to monitor, and remotely control the electricity demand. This is actually already one of the elements of the role of electricity grid operators in demand side energy management. Beyond such a mono-directional power flow management (power flow from the electricity grid to the vehicle battery), more integration methods are explored and envisioned to make this in the two directions (electricity grid to vehicle and vice versa). These innovations are also to be considered in the framework of the research and development efforts towards a smart and reliable grid, as needed by the growing role of distributed energy resources (DES), including intermittent renewable energy resources.

34

7.2 From mono-directional to bi-directional power flow management

In the first case, smart meters would track electricity use in real time. Thus, coupled with such a system, smart chargers, which would include a charger that runs on a timer, could ensure that the plug-in batteries are charged only when the electricity is at its cheapest, saving consumers money. Moreover, utilities could temporarily turn off chargers in thousands of homes or business to keep the grid form crashing after a spike in demand. In the more integrated system, the "Vehicle to grid" – V2G, the electric drive vehicle (EDV) is capable to send power to the electric grid generally when it is parked. V2G concept was proposed by Amori Lovins in 1995 and afterwards several developments have been done especially by Willet Kempton. At present, an automobile capable of vehicle to grid (V2G) interaction is sometimes referred as 'mobile energy' or 'smart charging' [Williams and Kurani, 2006, 2007]. With the V2G technology, the unused electric car could supply electricity to the grid when required. It makes sense if most vehicles would remain parked at any point of time. The main benefits are:

• Profitable grid management, especially for ancillary services (A/S). A/S support the stable operation of the electric system, and consist in on-line generators synchronized to the grid to keep frequency and voltage steady, ready to be increased/decreased instantly (2-3 min) via automatic generation control (AGC) and spinning reserves [Turton and Moura, 2008]. It has to be guaranteed 24 hours/day 7 days/week, and account for 5-10% of electricity cost. V2G could help attenuating those costs (see e.g. [Tomic and Kempton, 2007]).

• Emergency power supply provided by the V2G very fast response and clean power

source that can replace diesel generators.

• V2G technology is also envisioned as a solution to the intermittency of renewable energy sources of which role is expected to grow in the future. V2G would indeed provide both backup and storage that are the typical ways to cope with intermittency. It is suggested that the V2G technology could simultaneously accelerate the penetration of EDV and allow a reliable high penetration of renewable electricity [Kempton and Tomic, 2005].

• Electric power support – V2G could power traction spikes for local rail, and use a

variety of billing/charging schemes to encourage customers' participation. Existing analyses show that V2G opportunities and their financial value vary with the type of vehicle and the power market [Kempton and Letendre, 1997; Kempton and Letendre, 1999; Kempton and Kubo, 2000; Hawkins, 2001; Tomic and Kempton, 2003]. As reported by [Tomic and Kempton, 2005], V2G is limited by:

• the current-carrying capacity of the wires and other circuitry connecting the vehicle through the building to the grid;

• the stored energy in the vehicle divided by the time it is used.

35

At vehicle level, the vehicle’s power electronics needs top be sufficient. This doesn't represent a strong constraint because all electric-drive vehicles are equipped with power electronics which generate clean, 60 Hz AC power, at power levels from 10kW (for the Honda Insight) to 100kW (for GM’s EV1) [Letendre and Kempton, 2007]. Most of the required power is already built-in and paid for as part of the transportation function. However, three elements are required for V2G [Tomic and Kempton, 2007]:

• power connection for electrical energy flow from vehicle to grid. • control or communication device to enable the grid operator determining available

capacity, requested power from the vehicle, and meter the result. • precision certified metering on board the vehicle to track energy flows to measure

exactly how much power a vehicle provided and at which times. Also, potential challenges, relating to standards need to be resolved [smartgridnews, 2008]:

• Communications standards and networks • Connection standards (Where does the intelligence reside: in the vehicle, at the utility,

or at a third-party aggregator and how do they talk to each other?) • Integration of control methods

Then pricing and cost sharing issues have to be addressed:

• Appropriate payment and subsidy schemes (How are customers rewarded or compensated for the use of their batteries?)

• Necessary infrastructure investments and cost sharing schemes (Who puts in the new two-way, smart metered plugs for all the homes, the apartment buildings, and the parking garages?)

Acceptance of these technologies as a new grid resource will require rethinking many of our current assumptions about what is a load and what is a generator, and the proper implementation of pricing strategies within the grid. Finally, extra vehicle costs could be significant. According to [Wellinghoff and Kempton, 2007] the cost of a vehicle with V2G at 20 kW would be around $65000 (€46952) (considering a demonstration project of 300-400 V2G vehicles). Recently, the Michigan Public Service Commission [MPSC, 2008] established that the higher PHEV penetration depends on smart grid infrastructure research and developments. Thus, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability has identified seven principal characteristics of a smart electric grid to allow PHEV penetration:

• Self-Healing - a grid able to rapidly detect, analyze, respond, and restore from perturbations.

• Empower and Incorporate the Consumer - a grid able to incorporate consumer equipment and behaviour.

• Tolerant of a Security Attack - a grid that mitigates and stands resilient to physical and cyber security attack.

• Provides Power Quality Needed by 21st Century Users - a grid that provides a quality of power consistent with consumer and industry needs.

36

• Accommodates a Wide Variety of Generation Options - a grid that allows and takes advantage of a wide variety of local and regional generation technologies (including green power).

• Fully Enables Electricity Markets - a grid that fully enables maturing electricity markets.

• Optimizes Asset Utilization - a grid that employs IT and monitoring technologies to continually optimize its capital assets while minimizing operations and maintenance costs (O&M).

European Commission JRC 54699 – Joint Research Centre – Institute for Prospective Technological Studies Title: Plug-in Hybrid and Battery-Electric Vehicles: State of the research and development and comparative analysis of energy and cost efficiency Authors: Françoise Nemry, Guillaume Leduc, Almudena Muñoz Babiano Luxembourg: Office for Official Publications of the European Communities 2009 Technical Note Abstract This technical note is a first contribution from IPTS to a JRC more integrated assessment of future penetration pathways of new vehicles technologies in the EU27 market and of their impacts on energy security, GHG emissions and on the economy. The present report focuses on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). It provides a general overview of the current state of the research and development about the concerned technologies and builds some first estimation regarding the fuel and electricity consumptions, and the costs of these new vehicle technologies in the short term and in the longer terms in view of their subsequent use when building prospective market penetration and policy scenarios.

The mission of the Joint Research Centre is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of European Union policies. As a service of the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.
