Colorado’s Vision for Electrification

Local Government Energy Academy

Christian Williss, Director, Transportation Fuels and Technology

Transportation Fuels and Technology

CEO’s Transportation Fuels and Technology Team works to accelerate adoption of alternative fuel vehicles through:

• 1. Policy and Planning – make Colorado an attractive place to own

and operate an alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) and make investments in AFV fueling and charging infrastructure.

• 2. Program Management – administer grant programs that reduce

the upfront cost of installing fueling and charging infrastructure.

• 3. Outreach and Education – provide information and technical

support to fleets and consumers on the costs and benefits of

• wning and operating AFVs and investing in infrastructure.

Benefits of Alternative Fuel Vehicles

Executive Order D 2017-015

Supporting Colorado’s Clean Energy Transition

• 1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions statewide by more than 26%

by 2025, as compared to 2005 levels.

• 2. A 25 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the

electricity sector by 2025, as compared to 2012 levels.

• 3. A 35 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the

electricity sector by 2030, as compared to 2012 levels.

• 4. Achieve electricity savings of 2% of total electricity sales per year

by 2020 through cost-effective energy efficiency.

Executive Order D 2017-015

Supporting Colorado’s Clean Energy Transition

The Colorado Energy Office, the Regional Air Quality Council, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment are directed to develop, in coordination with other state agencies and in alignment with the Volkswagen Mitigation Trust, a statewide Electric Vehicle plan by January 1, 2018 to build out key charging corridors that will facilitate economic development and boost tourism across the state while reducing harmful air pollution.

Colorado Electric Vehicle Plan

• Build out key charging corridors

that facilitate economic development, boost tourism, and reduce harmful air pollution.

“…a network of EV fast-charging stations along major transportation corridors that provides quick, convenient, and reliable charging and allows a driver in an EV to travel from

• ne side of the state to the other

without experiencing range anxiety.”

Colorado Electric Vehicle Plan

“Increase adoption of EVs in the light duty sector by taking steps to achieve the high growth scenario of approximately 940,000 EVs in Colorado by 2030, as projected in the Colorado EV Market Implementation Study.”

• Accelerate adoption of EVs and ensure Colorado remains a

leader in the EV market.

Regional Electric Vehicle West

• REV West MOU signed by 8 Western

Governors

• Establishes a framework for collaboration
• n an Intermountain West Electric

Corridor.

• Develop best practices/voluntary

minimum standards for stations, expand access to new EVs, and create consistent charging experience.

Colorado Beneficiary Mitigation Plan

• Class 8 (large) local freight

and port drayage trucks

• Class 4-7 (medium) local

freight trucks

• Class 4-8 school, shuttle, or

transit buses

• Up to 15% for light duty

ZEV supply equipment

• Airport ground support

equipment

• Railroad freight switchers
• Heavy forklifts
• Certain boats & port equipment
• Diesel emission reduction act

(DERA) option

• Admin costs up to 15%

Eligible Project Types

Colorado Beneficiary Mitigation Plan

• Proposes 15%, maximum allowed, for Zero Emission Supply

Equipment Program – $10.3 million.

• Distributed through existing grant programs – Charge Ahead

Colorado and ALT Fuels Colorado.

• $3.5 million for community-

based Level II and DC fast- charging stations.

• $6.8 million for DC fast-

charging stations along Colorado’s major transportation corridors.

Barriers to Electric Vehicle Adoption

The State of Colorado focuses on 3 primary barriers to electric vehicle (EV) adoption:

• 1. High upfront cost (and availability/assignability of grants and
• ther incentives).
• 2. Lack of (publicly-accessible) Level II and DC Fast-Charging

infrastructure.

• 3. Lack of information on the costs, benefits, and availability of EVs

(and infrastructure).

Innovative Motor Vehicle Credits
