• Abstract:
  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. ; For the cost analyses, the issue of demand charges for utility power are examined for two ; case studies – one assumes that a dedicated utility electric meter connection for the EV ; charging station, the second case assumes that the EV charging station is part of the total ; electrical service for a commercial or industrial building complex. The costs associated ; with EV charging are the electricity used to charge the vehicle, the equipment needed to ; provide the electricity and charging station maintenance. Both studies use a life cycle cost ; analysis. The cost analysis shows that these high-power charging stations can ; significantly add to the facilities monthly electric bill because of utility demand charges ; and underutilization of the charging facility. A most important result from this work is that ; an energy management system (EMS) can lend itself to reducing or eliminating the ; portion of the electric bill associated with charger electrical demand. The detailed results ; from this project are presented in three reports.
