Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment  -  EVi

GreenBusiness WORKS in partnership with Greener Atlanta, has designed and developed a Comprehensive Readiness And Deployment Strategy for Electric Vehicles And Electric Vehicle Infrastructure In The Southeast.

Electric vehicles may still be an oddity, but governments and charger manufacturers are taking a Field of Dreams approach to charging infrastructure—assuming if they build it, they will come. Our region is home to an EV manufacturer plant in Smyrna, TN. Chargers are being installed in municipal parking garages, at highway rest stops, and in parking lots at IKEA, Kohl’s, and Cracker Barrel.

As clean tech consulting firm Pike Research points out, two years from now drivers will have a choice of 80 different models of electric vehicles. The consulting firm estimates that by 2017 the EV charger industry will turn $4.3 billion in profits, while the United States alone will have 1.5 million locations to charge electric vehicles. The current administration has the goal of 1 million charging stations installed by 2015. Political will goes a long way in driving demand - pun intended!

In the United States, where we seem to be yet another category laggard vs Japan, China, and Korea, funding from the federal government has spurred the proliferation of chargers. Coulomb Technologies, received $15 million from the federal government’s 2009 stimulus program to expand its ChargePoint Network. A competitor, ECOtality, received more than $100 million in 2009 and 2010 from the Department of Energy for the EV Project, which will deploy 14,000 chargers in six states and the District of Columbia. The company calls it “the largest deployment of electric vehicles and charge infrastructure in history.” However, some cities are still asking, 'Where are our chargers?"

Enter GreenBusiness WORKS Evi program.

The vast majority of the chargers being deployed today can be divided into two groups: fast enough and quite fast. Level 2 chargers take at least a couple of hours to fill up a car battery. Level 3 chargers can take as little as 10 or 15 minutes to do the same job but will continue to be the exception - great installation sites for those caffeine spots, eh? (To find one, keep an eye out for what may resemble a larger iPod mini.) Most owners of electric vehicles do their charging in the privacy of their own homes. It’s even possible, as of this week, to acquire a home charger without venturing out: GE began offering its WattStation for purchase on Amazon. (Not included: the licensed electrician it will take to install the thing - or a great master of the Honey-Do list!)

The expansion of charging infrastructure is probably most useful right now as a salve to range anxiety, the fear of running out of juice before your EV gets you where you need to go. If it prompts more people to buy electric vehicles, though, expect to see more of those chargers in the very near future.

If you are interested in accelerating energy independance in our country, EVs are the way to contribute.
