Examples of “Grid Constraints”?

The Current & Future Playing Fields

5

• July 16, 2020 “Make Ready” Order from the PSC authorized

$700m for a range of EV charging infrastructure programs

• Recently expanded New York Power Authority to fund and develop

EV infrastructure

• Retail rate design proceedings at the PSC still to come
• Lake Placid municipal electric cooperative rules and rates
• Forthcoming Department of Environmental Conservation

rulemaking, under the CLCPA, regarding economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions

• Potential funding from Transportation Climate Initiative

EV Charging Challenges to the Grid

Early coordination with the utility is key to reduce costs

• Grid infrastructure is built to accommodate

peak power demand

• EV charging can coincide with existing

peak periods, necessitating additional infrastructure investment if not properly managed

• National Grid can work in partnership with

the Customer to optimally locate/operate charging infrastructure to reduce costs

• Active management in charging

patterns/times can reduce demand charges and infrastructure spending

National Grid EV Programs

The Grid: Capacity & Challenges October 1st 2020

• Incentive covers up to 50, 90
• r 100% of total make ready

costs for eligible L2 and DCFC sites

• Both Utility and Customer

side infrastructure costs are eligible

• Excludes cost for chargers

EV Charging Make Ready Program Phase 2

• Offered to light, medium and

heavy-duty vehicle fleet customers

• Includes site feasibility and

bill impact analysis

• Review of managed charging
• ptions to limit bill impacts
• Offers fixed monthly pricing

for residential L2 EV charging during off-peak periods

• $20 per month up to 225kWh
• f off-peak at-home charging
• $25 per month up to 325kWh
• f off-peak at-home charging

4 National Grid

Grid infrastructure reflects the geography of the Adirondack North Country

• Fewer circuits and substations

compared to more densely populated areas

• Limited ties between circuits
• National Grid’s Transmission network

supports the Lake Placid and Tupper Lake Municipal Electric Utilities

• Current area load levels do not raise

capacity concerns

• Modification or addition of new

infrastructure to support large load growth is challenging

• Early engagement with National Grid to

reduce impacts to infrastructure is key to removing barriers

Clean Transportation Summit: Adirondack ON-RAMP

2 Hydro-Québec

Highlights

Small beginnings in 2012 – 4 partners, 35 charging stations, 2 cities Today Canada’s largest public charging network – 3,000 charging stations, 500 partners Massive DCFC deployment financed through the rate base Creation of a joint venture to support the growth

• f the network

Important new revenue stream

3 Hydro-Québec

Number of Electric Vehicles in Quebec

95 % of Québec EV owners are members of the Electric Circuit 1 million of charging sessions expected in 2020 (720,000 in 2019) The presence of public charging stations is one of the main factors influencing EV adoption

Objective: 100 000 EVs in 2020 1 million in 2030

As of July 31

Before June 2018

Acquisition and installation cost 6 K$ Paid by partners Acquisition and installation cost 75 K$ Paid 50-50% between Hydro-Québec and the partner

– Reliability and responsiveness are key – A DCFC that doesn’t work is worse than no DCFC at all – Plan for monitoring, repair and maintenance budgets and resources – Customer service needs to be impeccable

– 24/7 support line – Use of mobile app to report problems – Advanced functionnalities – Response on social medias – Dynamic Web site

– Interoperability is a must

Lessons learned

Do not understimate the efforts to operate a charging network

Regulatory History of EV Charging in NY

• April 2018: Proceeding Regarding EVSE&I directed Staff to identify and address

immediate and long-term actions to support ZEV growth, specifically directed Staff to host a technical conference and expeditiously issue a whitepaper – 18-E-0138

• Nov. 2018: Residential EV Tariff Order EV-specific TOU rates filed with traditional

residential customer charge

• Feb 2019: DCFC Program Order established six-year per-plug incentive program
• Jan 2020: EV Make-Ready White Paper proposal provides up 90% support to

cover the costs of making a sites ready for public EV charging

available DCFC stations in NY

• Range anxiety is #1 concern cited by

potential EV buyers in the US

• $85 million dedicated to prize competitions in disadvantaged communities

Primary focus of the program is light duty vehicles
