Semi-Annual Program Progress Performance Report For University Transportation Systems Pppr#8, Florida Solar Energy Center, Richard Raustad
Semi-Annual Program Progress Performance Report For University Transportation Systems Pppr#8, Florida Solar Energy Center, Richard Raustad
FSEC Energy Research Center®
The major activity of the past reporting period has been the completing of the final project research reports. During the period, twelve projects (numbers 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 9, 22, 4, 5, 13, 20 and 18) were completed and the final project reports forwarded to DOT and the required associated organizations. Two additional final reports (numbers 12 and 21) are close to being completed. Final reports for the other 4 remaining projects (numbers 2, 8, 11 and 15) are in various stages of completion. For this reporting period, EVTC researchers concluded 12 project final reports, authored one publication, made …

Techno-Economic Analyses Of Large-Scale Electric Vehicle Systems, Florida Solar Energy Center, Zhihua Qu
FSEC Energy Research Center®
This project developed the process, methodology and algorithms for computer models to evaluate the techno-economic implications of a large-scale electrified transportation sector. The model factors include developing and interacting with a network of electric vehicles and the electric grid, the infrastructure for electric vehicle charging, integrating the transportation and power systems into the urban setting, studying the impact of distributed energy storage and determining the economic impact of increased renewable energy and EVs on the electricity grid and its stability. The modeling related project results are presented in five journal articles and two conference papers. In this final report, the …

The Electric Vehicle Transportation Center (EVTC) supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's strategic goal of planning for near-term integration of alternative fuel vehicles as a means to build a sustainable transportation system. The project objectives are to evaluate technologies, standards, planning and policies to ensure seamless integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into a complex transportation network and electricity grid. The EVTC bridges the gap between deployment of electric vehicles and the traditional transportation system. This document is a summary of the activities until April 28, 2017.
Electric Vehicle Charging Technologies Analysis And Standards, Florida Solar Energy Center, J. Doug Kettles
Electric Vehicle Charging Technologies Analysis And Standards, Florida Solar Energy Center, J. Doug Kettles
FSEC Energy Research Center®
This project has evaluated the technologies and standards associated with Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) and the related infrastructure, and the major cost issue related to electric vehicle (EV) charging -- the cost of utility power. The technology assessment report evaluated safety standards for infrastructure, highway and vehicles and the barriers and challenges of deploying an expanded network of EV charging stations. The report also made recommendations to help standardize and expedite EVSE infrastructure and charging network deployment.
Implications Of Electric Vehicle Penetration On State And Federal Highway Revenues, Florida Solar Energy Center, Kevin Schleith
Implications Of Electric Vehicle Penetration On State And Federal Highway Revenues, Florida Solar Energy Center, Kevin Schleith
FSEC Energy Research Center®
This report summarizes the results of research conducted to determine if current and near future electric vehicle (EV) sales will have an impact on motor fuel tax revenues as part of the Federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF). Gasoline and diesel fuel taxes account for $31.1 billion or about 87% of the HTF. The project results were accomplished by conducting a review of existing industry and government reports that detail fuel tax revenues and an analysis of EV sales from 2010 through 2016. Results show, that as of January 2017, the lost fuel tax revenue from EV sales of 560,000 vehicles …
Electric Vehicle Life Cycle Cost Analysis, Florida Solar Energy Center, Richard Raustad
Electric Vehicle Life Cycle Cost Analysis, Florida Solar Energy Center, Richard Raustad
FSEC Energy Research Center®
This project compared total life cycle costs of battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE). The analysis considered capital and operating costs in order to present an equal comparison of differing vehicles. The analysis also included photovoltaic (PV) and workplace charging options. The overall goal was to define the total vehicle cost of ownership over 5, 10, 15, and 20 year life expectancies. The developed life cycle cost computer program will allow any individual to compare life cycle costs of any vehicle.

Economic Impacts Of Electric Vehicle Adoption, Florida Solar Energy Center, Makena Coffman
FSEC Energy Research Center®
The objective of the Economic Impacts of Electric Vehicle Adoption research project was to examine the predicted levels of electric vehicle (EV) adoption, to analyze the life cycle costs of EVs compared to internal combustion engine vehicles and to evaluate EV impacts on GHG emissions for Hawaii. The results were presented in three publications. The first report evaluated EV penetration rates and provided an assessment of expected EV penetration over time. The research also assessed factors that affect EVs adoption, including regulatory mechanisms. The results estimated there will be 140,000 EVs on the road in Hawaii by the year 2040 …
