About M.J. Bradley & Associates, LLC

MJB&A, founded in 1994, is a strategic consulting firm focused on energy and environmental issues. The firm includes a multi-disciplinary team of experts with backgrounds in economics, law, engineering, and policy. The company works with private companies, public agencies, and non-profit organizations to understand and evaluate environmental regulations and policy, facilitate multi-stakeholder initiatives, shape business strategies, and deploy clean energy technologies.

3

This presentation is based on the results of five state-level analyses of plug-in electric vehicle costs and benefits for different states in the Northeast, including Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. These studies were conducted by MJB&A for the Natural Resources Defense Council, to provide input to state policy discussions about actions required to promote further adoption of electric vehicles. Summary reports for each state can be found here: http://bit.ly/2kJOfx0

What We Did

Estimated state-wide net benefits of high levels

  • f plug-in vehicle (PEV) penetration between

2030 and 2050:

  • PEV owner vehicle operating cost savings
  • Utility customer savings on electric bills
  • Societal benefits from GHG reductions

States include CT, MA, MD, NY, PA

4

Scenarios bracket short- and long-term state goals for PEV penetration and GHG reduction:

  • 8-state ZEV MOU
  • Economy-wide GHG reduction goals through 2050

State-specific analyses that account for differences in vehicle fleet, vehicle usage, energy costs, and grid characteristics

Modeled PEV penetration rates bracket these short & long term goals For each state to meet its ZEV MOU commitments, PEV penetration would need to be 6% - 7.5% in 2025

PEV Penetration Scenarios

6

  • In the 5 states analyzed the trajectories set by the 8-state ZEV MOU goals will result in

17% - 25% PEV penetration by 2050, and a total of 8.4 million PEVs

  • To achieve long-term GHG reduction goals (80x50) 80% - 97% of light duty vehicles in

these states in 2050 would need to be PEVs - a total of 35.8 million PEVs

Projected PEV Purchase Costs

7 Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance (2016)

Actual & Projected Battery Costs for EVs [$/kW]

PEVs projected to still be more expensive to buy than gasoline vehicles through 2050, but incremental costs will be more than offset by fuel and maintenance savings

Modeled future PEV purchase costs based on two key parameters

  • Battery costs ($/kWh)
  • Electric drivetrain costs ($/kW)

Battery size based on BEV200 and PHEV50 Electric drive train size (kW) based on current PEV models Future battery & drivetrain costs based on DOE EV Everywhere goals and recent Bloomberg projections

Other Major Assumptions

  • Baseline is based on current light-duty fleet in each state, and state projections for future

vehicle and VMT growth

  • Future PEVs assumed to include both plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery-electric (BEV)

cars and light trucks  PHEV/BEV ratio based on current fleet in each state  PEVs assumed to be mostly cars in 2030, with increasing percentage light trucks in later years, especially under 80x50 scenario

  • Future energy costs (gasoline, electricity) based on regional projections from Energy

Information Administration (EIA)

  • Energy use by gasoline cars (baseline) and PEVs consistent with 2015 NRDC/EPRI

modeling, and reflect EPA/DOT fuel economy standards (CAFE) through 2025 model year  For PEVs added additional energy to cover winter cabin heating

  • PEV GHG emissions based on EIA projections for future grid carbon intensity (baseline),

and a “low carbon” scenario in which grid emissions are reduced 80% by 2050

  • Evaluated PEV charging load for both “baseline” and “off-peak” charging

PEV Charging Scenarios

  • 20% of PEVs charge both at

home and at work

  • 80% of PEVs charge only at

home

  • BASELINE: Start charge as

soon as arrive at home/work  Arrival times based on responses to 2009 Household Travel Survey  Arrival times vary slightly by state

  • OFF-PEAK: 65% of home

arrivals between noon and 11 PM delay charge start until after midnight (40%) 1 AM (40%) or 2 AM (20%)

Results - PEV Charging Energy (MWh)

10

  • In MA, CT, NY, and PA

annual electricity use is projected to grow by only 5% -7% through 2050  MD electricity use is projected to grow by 32% due to much higher population growth

  • In these states, by 2050

PEV charging would increase electricity use by  3% -5% under ZEV MOU scenario  16% - 24% under the 80x50 scenario

slide-11

Results – PEV Charging Load (MW)

11

  • By 2050 baseline PEV charging could increase afternoon peak load (MW) in

these states by:  8-state ZEV MOU scenario: 5.6% (PA) - 9%(NY, MD)  80x50 Scenario: 34% (PA) - 40% (CT, MD)

  • Off-peak charging could reduce incremental afternoon peak load by 64% or more

Results – PEV Owner Benefits

12

  • If projected future reductions in

battery costs are achieved, on average PEVs will be less expensive to operate than gasoline vehicles by the early 2030s, even without government subsidies

  • Estimated annual savings per

PEV (nom $) in these states will range from:  2030: -$57 (PA) to $146 (MD)  2050: $545 (PA) to $939 (MD)

  • NPV of total state-wide savings

for PEV owners in 2050 under the 80x50 penetration scenario ranges from $0.8 billion (CT) to $3.0 billion (NY)

Results - Utility Customer Benefits

  • Increased load from PEV

charging will produce net revenue for utilities that can be used to support maintenance of existing distribution infrastructure

  • This will benefit all utility

customers by putting downward pressure on future rate increases

  • Off-peak charging can increase

annual utility net revenue by 30% - 100% compared to baseline charging – due to lower peak capacity and infrastructure costs

  • Under the 80x50 scenario, net

revenue from PEV charging in 2050 could reduce electric rates by 3% -7% in these five states – savings the average household $104 - $144 per year (nom $)

13

Utility revenue and net revenue is based on EIA projections of future regional energy costs, accounting for incremental costs of PEVs not included in EIA reference case. These include the cost

  • f additional peak generating capacity and additional distribution

infrastructure to handle the incremental peak charging load

Results - Societal Benefits

  • Baseline light-duty fleet GHG

emissions in these states are projected to fall by 28% to 45% even without high PEV penetration, as the fleet turns

  • ver to more efficient vehicles

 Differences due to start year for state GHG reduction goal

  • Electrification of the fleet can

produce significantly greater GHG reductions, especially if the grid is further decarbonized

  • In 2050 the monetized value of

annual GHG reductions (NPV) from greater PEV penetration under the 80x50 scenario range from $350 million (CT) to $1.4 billion (NY)

Monetized value of GHG reductions calculated using Social Cost of CO2, as estimated by the U.S. government’s Interagency Working Group on Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases.

Results - Cumulative PEV Net Benefits

15

  • By 2050 the NPV of

cumulative benefits from PEVs could exceed $32 billion in Massachusetts under the 80x50 scenario  51% will accrue to PEV

  • wners from savings in

vehicle costs  24% will accrue to utility customers from lower electric bills  25% will accrue to society from the value of GHG reductions

  • Similar distribution of net

benefits for other states, but magnitude is proportional to the size of the fleet

NPV based on 3% discount rate

Comparing the States – NPV Annual Net Benefits per PEV

  • Total net benefits are lower in PA primarily due to lower average mileage per vehicle

 Annual PEV owner benefits are positive after 2032

  • PEV owner benefits vary among the states based on differences in electricity costs
  • Utility customer benefits are highest in NY due to higher electricity rates, and a lower

percentage of utility revenue spent on generation & transmission
