<strong>EV</strong> CITY CASEBOOK // WELCOMEPG_04A GLOBAL MOVEMENTELECTRIC VEHICLES: TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD MOVES// Electric vehicles (<strong>EV</strong>s) hold thepotential of transforming the way theworld moves. <strong>EV</strong>s can increase energysecurity by diversifying the fuel mixand decreasing dependence onpetroleum, while also reducingemissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Just asimportant, <strong>EV</strong>s can unlock innovation and create new advancedindustries that spur job growth and enhance economic prosperity.However, the mass deployment of <strong>EV</strong>s will require transportationsystems capable of integrating and fostering this newtechnology. To accelerate this transition, cities and metropolitanregions around the world are creating <strong>EV</strong>-friendly ecosystemsand building the foundation for widespread adoption.// In recognition of the importance of urban areas in theintroduction and scale-up of electric vehicles, the <strong>EV</strong> <strong>City</strong><strong>Casebook</strong> presents informative case studies on city and regional<strong>EV</strong> deployment efforts around the world. These case studies areillustrative examples of how pioneering cities are preparingthe ground for mass market <strong>EV</strong> deployment. They offer bothqualitative and quantitative information on cities’ <strong>EV</strong> goals,progress, policies, incentives, and lessons learned to date.The purpose of the <strong>EV</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Casebook</strong> is to share experiences on <strong>EV</strong>// The cities represented here are actively engaging in a varietyof initiatives that share the goal of accelerating <strong>EV</strong> adoption.This publication is the result of an effort to coordinate thoseinitiatives and provide a global perspective on the electricvehicle movement. This international knowledge-sharingnetwork consists of the Electric Vehicles Initiative (<strong>EV</strong>I),a multi-government initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial;Project Get Ready, a <strong>Rocky</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> (RMI)initiative; and the International Energy Agency’s ImplementingAgreement for Cooperation on Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologiesand Programmes (H<strong>EV</strong> IA); with the supportof the C40 Cities in partnership with the Clinton ClimateInitiative (CCI).// In addition, these organizations are collaborating to launchthe World <strong>EV</strong> Cities and Ecosystems web portal, for whichthe <strong>EV</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Casebook</strong> will provide initial content. This firstof-its-kindwebsite captures <strong>EV</strong> deployment progress in citiesworldwide and will serve as a central hub for harmonizingefforts, leveraging existing resources and participants, anddisseminating best <strong>EV</strong> deployment practices to globalstakeholders. By working together and sharing knowledge,cities from diverse regions and countries will realize the benefitsof electric mobility and achieve a sustainable energy future.demonstration and deployment, identify challengesand opportunities, and highlight best practices for creating thriving<strong>EV</strong> ecosystems.

<strong>EV</strong> CITY CASEBOOK // <strong>EV</strong> OUTLOOKPG_08THE URBAN APPROACH// As the <strong>EV</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Casebook</strong>demonstrates, a number of majorcities and regions around the worldare committed to making electricmobility a reality. They are activelypursuing ambitious deployment goalsthrough a variety of innovative policy measures and programs.While these approaches are often tailored to each city’sparticular circumstances, many common practices emerge.For instance, many cities employ a mix of financial andnon-financial consumer incentivesto boost demand for vehicles and charging infrastructure.Financial incentives include rebates or tax credits on vehicles(often paired with national government purchase subsidies),exemptions from vehicle registration taxes or license fees,discounted tolls and parking fares, as well as discounts forrecharging equipment and installation. A variety of nonfinancialincentives figure just as prominently, includingpreferential parking spaces, access to restricted highway lanes,and expedited permitting and installation of electric vehiclesupply equipment (<strong>EV</strong>SE).// Cities are also leading by example. Many have already addedelectric vehicles to municipal fleets and incorporated hybridbuses into public transportation. They are placing charging spotsat public buildings and, in some cases, offering discountedelectricity rates for <strong>EV</strong> users from municipal-owned utilities.Just as important, cities are using their convening power toassemble multi-stakeholder groups that include city planners,automakers, utilities, infrastructure suppliers, academicand research institutions, and city and national officials.These groups work together to create a roadmap for <strong>EV</strong>readiness that considers all stakeholder perspectives andseeks to identify and address technical, economic andregulatory barriers to <strong>EV</strong> adoption and integration.// It is in the context of the global <strong>EV</strong> movement that theefforts of these and other cities become particularly important.As the real-world “test beds” of <strong>EV</strong> deployment, cities will bethe first to experience the introduction and significant use of<strong>EV</strong> technology and infrastructure. Given their density andrelatively short commutes, urban populations are well positionedto benefit from electric vehicles. The experiences of urbandrivers and the pioneering policies of local governments canhelp spur widespread <strong>EV</strong> uptake and accelerate the transitionto clean and sustainable mobility.Photo credit: Mosebacke Media.

<strong>EV</strong> CITY CASEBOOK // BERLINPG_20E-CITY LOGISTICSThe E-<strong>City</strong> Logistics project has successfully demonstratedthe potential for electrically powered commercial vehiclesfor delivery use within the city. Because of the low noise level ofelectric vehicles, delivery of goods can be extended to off-peak hours and nights, allowing forpeak delivery traffic to be avoided.BE MOBILITYEstablishing intermodal transport options based on electricdrives is both a challenge and an opportunity for Berlin. TheBeMobility project took the first steps toward integrating electricvehicles (e-cars, pedelecs) in public transport. The short term target is to introduce a mobilitycard, which will connect all the city’s mobility options.MINI EThe Mini E project tested controlled charging with more than 70electric cars. The charging process of the Mini E was constructedso that the greatest possible amount of surplus wind energy wasused, whether charging at home or at work.

<strong>EV</strong> CITY CASEBOOK // GOTO ISLANDS, NAGASAKIPG_28<strong>EV</strong> SPOTLIGHTAbout 35,000 people experienced <strong>EV</strong> rental cars from April2010 through January 2012 (16,000 trips). In the highestseason (August 2011), use reached to 398 rentals in one week(90.2 percent of all vehicles rented). The highest quick chargeruse was 19.9 charges/dayat the Fukue Island port in August 2010, which made for a “charging queue,” but nowsufficient numbers of charging spots are available on the Goto Islands.FUSION PROJECTA smart-grid project, Fusion Project, was organized by ProfessorNishi at Keio University and executed as a national project by theMinistry of Internal Affairs and Communications to demonstrateintegrated control of various demand and supply sources by proposing “meta-standardization”of communication protocols.<strong>EV</strong> PARADE SETS GUINNESS WORLD RECORDOn July 3, 2010, 100 <strong>EV</strong>s from Goto <strong>City</strong> and Shinkamigoto Townparaded around Fukue Island. The parade was certified as theworld’s longest for electric vehicles by Guinness World Records.INFORMATION TRAFFIC SYSTEM (ITS) SPOTSIn order to utilize a limited numbers of chargers and to createthe smartest service for <strong>EV</strong> drivers, ITS spots are now installedat charging spots to provide tourists with local information.This integrated tourism information platform provides locally collected information basedon IP content, which can be provided simultaneously to other info devices.NAGASAKI <strong>EV</strong> & ITSCONSORTIUM// The Nagasaki <strong>EV</strong> & ITSConsortium started with 99members from the auto industry,infrastructure providers,academies, associations, localcompanies, cities and towns, andobservers from governments,other prefectures and cities, andhas since grown to 200 members.// The consortium discussestechnical and functionalspecifications for the practicalintroduction and operation of <strong>EV</strong>sand ITS tourism and conductsdemonstrations of connecting <strong>EV</strong>sto the grid. The creation of a globalstandard and a regional businessmodel from the islands is anothergoal of the project.// Goto Islands provide a thriving<strong>EV</strong> ecosystem with 155 <strong>EV</strong>s andPH<strong>EV</strong>s, 24 units of quick chargersat 12 spots, and locally developedITS information systems. <strong>EV</strong>s andPH<strong>EV</strong>s are mainly used for rentalcars and taxis for tourists andpeople can freely ride, and drive<strong>EV</strong>s and PH<strong>EV</strong>s on all of theislands.

<strong>EV</strong> CITY CASEBOOK // HAMBURGPG_29HAMBURG GERMANYA CENTER OF INNOVATION IN SMART MOBILITY AND GREEN ENERGY SUPPLY// With more than 350 B<strong>EV</strong>s already in operation at the end of2011, the <strong>City</strong> of Hamburg and many partners from industry,local enterprises and public entities have made a strongcontribution to the German Federal Government’s plans toestablish the country as the prime market for e-mobility andas the global lead supplier in electric cars and components.// Hamburg’s trade and industry have a clear commitment togreen their daily operations. The vital network of corporatepartners with their commercial fleets offers a unique chanceto share knowledge on how to gradually incorporate <strong>EV</strong>s intoconventional fleets. The situation in Hamburg indicates a sounddemand for more vehicles in the years to come, helping to reacha critical mass in development and production. Moreover, <strong>EV</strong>deployment poses quite a number of new challenges for urbanplanning strategies and transportation policies. The HamburgSenate, the local state government, launched an ambitiousmasterplan in November 2011. This not only includes theextension of the ongoing implementation strategy but alsomaps out several assignments to the municipal entities, suchas promoting <strong>EV</strong>s in municipal fleet procurement, installingcharging spots at public buildings, and considering <strong>EV</strong>-drivenconcepts in tender procedures, for example, offering public plots.// With regard to charging infrastructure, Hamburg hasconstituted three binding rules: 1) charging stations onpublic ground have to be in line with urban layout and cityarchitecture; 2) they have to be accessible for all <strong>EV</strong> users withoutimplying a customer relationship between provider and user(“discrimination-free”) and; 3) they focus on 100 percent greenenergy from renewable sources. This clear commitment to powerelectric vehicles exclusively with electricity from additionalrenewable sources is best practice in environmental policyand will boost acceptance of this new technology.Photo credit. provided by the <strong>City</strong> of Hamburg.
