The Growing PEV Market
Benefits of Workplace Charging • Provides PEV drivers
convenient and reliable refueling away from home
• Increases electric miles driven by employees
• Provides drivers with flexibility
• Creates local PEV showroom for information sharing
• Fills important element of California’s charging network
Why Install Workplace Charging?
• Recruit and retain employees
• Green your image
• Improved commute – increased employee productivity
• Help comply with local air quality and transportation policies
• LEED points toward certification
Residential Charging Equipment AC Level 1
• Uses a standard 110/120-volt alternating current (VAC) three-pronged wall plug
AC Level 2
• Uses 208/240 VAC and can be hardwired or connected with a plug, but typically requires a contractor

DC Fast Charging
• Uses commercial-grade 440 /480 VAC – produces direct current (DC) to charge
• Commercial/Public – due to costs
• Provides fast charge for some BEVs
How Quickly Will it Charge?
How to install and implement workplace charging
Step 1: Research Options and Develop a Plan
• Review key workplace charging resources
• Survey employees to determine current and future interest in PEV charging
• If you lease, talk to landlord or facility managers to obtain permission to install charging
• Evaluate electrical connections
• Create a budget
• Contact local utility for available rate options
• Explore any available incentives or tax credits
• Plan for future growth
Step 2: Choose a System and Assess Costs
• Charger options
- Level 1? Level 2?
- How many?
- What capabilities?
- Where will it be installed?
Step 2: Choose a System and Assess Costs
Step 3: Create and Follow an Installation Checklist
Contact equipment suppliers
Hire contractor(s)
Pull all necessary permits
Install charging
equipment
Conduct a site
assessment
Check compliance with ADA
Estimate electrical
load
Coordinate with local
utility
22
Level of Access
Public or Private Access
Combine with fleet use
Priority
EVs vs. PHEVs
Employees and Guest
Fleet vehicles
System Optimization
Integrate DG
Consider total building load
Vehicle - Building – Grid
(V2G)
Payment options
$/h, $kWh
Flat monthly rate
Free
Step 4: Establish Internal Procedures
Key Considerations
• Plan for growth
– Usually more use than expected
• Etiquette
– Employees should have clear rules about etiquette
• Dedicate staff
– An employee is usually needed to manage the chargers and employee use

4,000+ employees statewide, $1B budget • Fleet administration • Project management & real estate services • Architectural and engineering design • Legal services • Division of the State Architect (access
compliance) • Green &sustainability projects • Procurement services
DGS assists in the implementation of EO’s
EO B-16-12: sets specific goals for ZEV
vehicles & State fleets
EO B-18-12: sets specific goals for buildings, including electric vehicle charging
DGS –EVSE-Leading by example
DGS has 22 BEVs and 26 PHEVs in the fleet
63 EVSE installed in Sacramento - CEC grants
$2M Interagency Agreement through the CEC
Developing expertise in EVSE in order to offer
design services to other State agencies
Involved with the policy formation for EVSE
Member of the ZEV Action Plan Working Group
Publications
Developed by the Governor’s Office of Planning & Research Collaboration of 40+ experts 176 pages, released Fall of 2013 Available for download at: http://opr.ca.gov/docs/ZEV_Guidebook.pdf Wealth of information for ZEVs
Community Readiness Guidebook
Three main sections:
Background information on ZEVs
Recommendations for local communities
Practical tools & templates
DGS Guidance Document DGS created the EVSE GUIDANCE DOCUMENT to complement the ZEV Community Readiness Guidebook
DGS Guidance Document
Augments the public oriented ZEV Community Readiness Guidebook
Expands information about EVSE
More specific to state government
Outlines requirements for state agencies
Available on the DGS Green California Website : http://www.green.ca.gov/Transportation.aspx
Procurement of EVSE Statewide contract for basic EVSE in place
Upcoming contract for smart EVSE Includes: Purchasing of the EVSE, networking services, maintenance
Available for state and participating local government agencies
Policy Formation Allow time for the formation of policies!
Centralized or decentralized control of the EVSE DGS centralized statewide locations through fleet
Collecting fees or free charging DGS started with free charging; July 1, 2014 switched to $1.15/hour
Setting the fee level and where the money goes DGS fees include electricity cost, maintenance, EVSE network costs, personnel costs (but not installation)
Dept. of Finance required specialized fee collection
Policy Formation Time limits at the EVSE
DGS set a 4 hour limit
Encourages vehicle rotation
Allows more cars to charge
Incentivizing ZEVs at state facilities DGS discounted monthly Parking fees
DGS raises priority of ZEV drivers on waiting lists
Result of the policies Lowered demand of EVSE by over 50%
Controversy on the waiting list
Provides more access for the “must charge” drivers
Reduces peak demand for electricity
Networking Issues
Smart EVSE require ongoing networking services
Membership for a brand of EVSE
Choice between proprietary and open source DGS chose OCPP open source
Government agencies usually avoid proprietary due the “sole source” issues
Decide who manages the networking and fee collection DGS centralized the function with the DGS Fleet
Access Compliance for EVSE
Public agencies must provide services in an accessible manner, including EVSE
Standards for EVSE are not yet specific to the technology
Division of the State Architect has formed a working group to develop guidelines for EVSE accessibility
DGS may likely co-locate at least one EVSE with an existing accessible parking stall
Planning & Installation Infrastructure is highly variable, evaluate before budgeting
Best locations are: close proximity to the electrical panels, convenient for drivers & accessible
Employ EVSE knowledgeable electrical engineers & contractors
Plan and design with expansion in mind
Lessons Learned Start early! Budgeting, evaluation, design,
bidding and installation could take 6 to 24 months
Allow time for policy development regarding fees, placement, EVSE management, procurement, time limits and enforcement
Evaluate the infrastructure before budgeting
Lessons Learned
Consider accessibility in your design and placement
Design for expansion
Enlighten the decision makers about this new technology
Inform the employees about the EVSE so they are encouraged to buy or lease ZEVs
Watch the CA Energy Commission announcements for funding opportunities

Electric Vehicle Charging
• Started with level 1 (110V outlets)
electric vehicle chargers – offered
free of charge
• In 2013, a corporate policy was
issued not to provide power free of
charge.
• In an effort to comply and to get on
the EVC map, Disneyland Resort
installed 30 ‘networked’ electric
vehicle chargers for Guest & Cast.
• There are additional plans for
electric vehicle charging expansion
to include resort-wide coverage.
Existing EVCs Planned EVCs
Developing an EVC Strategy
• Focused on cost effective
installation sites for maximum
impact.
• Used demand analysis and pricing
strategies to manage EVC supply
& demand and pro forma
development
• Developed a communication /
signage strategy
• Developed a low touch
operational and maintenance plan.
• Developed contingency plans for
the unforeseen.
Post Implementation Observations
• After 6 months of utilization,
Cast (employee) electric
vehicle chargers are high
utilization
• Currently, we have over 80
registered users
• Avg daily sessions: 1.5/charger
• Avg peak hour utilization rate is
about 80%.
• The average charge (plug-in)
time is 6.5 hours, with a 2.5
actual charge time.
• Avg KWh/vehicle is 8.12
Resources – Grants and Incentives • Bay Area AQMD: Approx. $12 million over next 2 years
– PEV Rebate Program for Public Agencies – Open
– PEV Infrastructure/Chargers – Nov/Dec 2014
