1 Results of Electric Vehicle Market Research Study City of Guelph February 2011 Sandy Manners Director, Corporate Communications Guelph Hydro Electric Systems Inc. Tel: Copyright 2011 Guelph Hydro Inc. / Results of survey may not be reproduced without permission. Contact smanners@guelphhydro.com.

2 Background Plug-in electric vehicles are coming into the Canadian market in 2011 No one knows how fast this new technology will be adopted Transportation is a key component of achieving Guelph s Community Energy Initiative goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions Green Energy Act Smart Grid - Electric cars Zero-emission electric cars could shape the image of environmentally aware cities because zero local emission motoring is no longer science fiction. Dieter Zetsche, President, Daimler

3 Implications for Utilities Electric cars will be plugged into the grid Increased load on distribution network One electric car = 1 house Like doubling our number of customers Safety concerns Unanswered questions When will cars be charged? Where will cars be charged? How will people pay for the electricity? Do we treat charging system as an appliance or a meter? Can discharging of batteries provide a mobile source of power?

4 Purpose To understand the level of awareness and interest in electric vehicles among Guelph consumers and businesses (fleet managers). Research Objectives To identify expectations and barriers to electric vehicle penetrationavailability of product, location of recharge stations, timeline of switching etc. To identify the energy use behavioural changes that consumers and business expect from the transition to electric vehicles.

27 Conclusion Potential Role for Utilities Education / Pilot Projects While most responders are familiar with the concept of an electric vehicle and are aware of its general benefits to the environment and reduced fuel cost, many are unaware of what owning an electric vehicle would entail and what their capabilities are. The Community of Guelph would seem to be an ideal community in which to run a pilot project due to the alignment with City of Guelph s Community Energy Initiative as well as the market demographics.

36 Those not considering EVs doubt the new technology and its ability to perform as well as conventional vehicles. Reasons for Not Considering an EV Among Answering Too new/untried technology 25 I'm not really confident when it comes to first generation vehicles. At this point and time there are not enough statistics given to inform us more about these cars. Inconvenience of recharging Doubt ability to do required tasks I do not think that you could get an electric truck to pull the weight required for our business. The guys would have to pull over and recharge every once and a while. Price - assuming they are not cheap. Prefer gas 13 Because we are kind old school. It's more for the younger generation. Other 13 I don't believe that they will be able to do the work that is required-carrying loads During our busy season we don't have time to charge it up and I don't know how efficient they are. Not really tried & true, not enough outlets, short distance as far as mileage, not meant for here to Detroit, lots of stops & not convenient 20.

45 Key Findings Fleet Managers Businesses in Guelph typically have fleets under 10 vehicles a mix of autos, trucks, and both. Fleet turnover is fairly frequent and most travel within southwest Ontario Awareness of green vehicle types among fleet managers is high but almost two thirds could not name specific models or makes of electric vehicles. Like residents, fleet managers are hesitant about the new technology and EV performance and capabilities. Likelihood to purchase an EV increases over time but many are uncertain about whether EVs could handle the tasks required in an efficient manner. Cost is another issue for fleet managers many are unwilling to pay a large premium to own an EV over a conventional automobile and are more encouraged by price related incentives.

46 Conclusions Guelph community appears to be an ideal location for an electric vehicle pilot project Clear role for utilities to play in educating the public and fleet managers about electric vehicles and charging systems A key incentive - discounted electricity rates for electric vehicle charging Fleet managers should be targeted with special education efforts
