Electric Vehicle Readiness in the Capital District

Locally-Based Public-Private PartnershipsClean Cities Coalitions:• Are comprised of public and

private stakeholders who share a common commitment to using affordable alternative fuels and saving energy

• Facilitate the adoption of new transportation technologies and infrastructure development

• Leverage public and private resources

• Engage in education and information sharing activities

Technical Portfolio

Light-, Medium-, and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Energy Efficient Mobility Systems and

Technologies

Alternative Fuel Infrastructure

Capital District Transportation CommitteeCDTC:• Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)

• Federal transportation funding is channeled through MPOs & their planning process

• 77 municipalities, including 8 cities

• Albany-Schenectady-Troy & Saratoga Springs metropolitan areas

LRTP

The Long Range Plan establishes investment policies & principles that guide decision-making & activities for a planning horizon of no less than 20 years.

TIP

The Transportation Improvement Program is the 5-year capital program of projects.

UPWP

The Unified Planning Working Program is a 2-year plan that contains all MPO activities & task budgets.

EV Planning & Outreach

TCI Northeast EV Network (2012)

Proterra EV Bus Demo (2013)

NYSAMPO CCWG Fact Sheet (2014)

Capital District EV Charging Plan (2016)

EV Truck Voucher Workshop (2013)

EVSE Installer Training (2013)

Capital District EV Charging Station Plan (2016)

Why Update the Plan?

• Document changes in Electric Vehicle Technology and Infrastructure since 2016

• Expand scope to include other Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV) beyond just Electric Vehicles

• Identify potential new EV corridors in the Region

Zero Emission Vehicles

• Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)• Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV)

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

• Powered by a combination of gasoline or diesel powertrain and a battery pack capable of being plugged in to charge

Toyota, Prius Prime - PHEV

Battery Electric Vehicles

• Fully powered by an electric powertrain consisting of a battery pack and electric motor

Chevrolet, Bolt - BEV

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles• Powered by a hydrogen fuel cell which drives

an electric motor

Other Zero Emission Vehicles

• Electric Assist Scooters (E-Scooters)

• Electric Assist Bicycles (E-Bikes)

Electric Assist BicyclesClass One - A bicycle with electric assist which has an electric motorthat provides assistance only when the person operating such bicycleis pedaling, and that will not provide assistance when the bicyclereaches a speed of twenty miles per hour.

Class Two - A bicycle with electric assist which has an electric motorthat may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle and that is notcapable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed oftwenty miles per hour.

Class Three - Solely within a city having a population of one million ormore, a bicycle with electric assist which has an electric motor thatmay be used exclusively to propel the bicycle and that is not capableof providing assistance when such bicycle reaches a speed of twenty-five miles per hour.

Electric Assist ScootersNYS Electric Scooter DefinitionEvery device weighing less than one hundred pounds that (a) has handlebars, a floorboard that can be stood upon by the operator,

and an electric motor, (b) can be powered by the electric motor and/or human power, and (c) has a maximum speed of no more than twenty miles per hour on a

paved level surface when powered solely by the electric motor.

EV Charging Infrastructure

Also called Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)

• Level 1 Charging - 120v AC

• Level 2 Charging - 240v AC

• Level 3 Charging - 480v DC

AC Level 1 Charging

• All current EVs are capable of Level 1 charging

• Can be used anywhere there is a standard 3-prong household outlet

• Can add 2-5 miles of all-electric range per hour of charging time

AC Level 2 Charging• Requires additional hardware

compared to Level 1 Charging

• Most popular choice for workplace and residential charging

• Can add 10-20 miles of range per 1 hour of charging time

DC Fast Charging (Level 3)• Provides the fastest charging,

adding 60-80 miles of range per hour of charging

• Not all Electric vehicles are capable of using fast charging technology

• Typically only provided in heavily used public stations due to the cost of installation
