Why Clean Cities?
Clean Cities advances the energy,
economic, and environmental security of
the United States by supporting local actions to cut petroleum use in
transportation.
Reduced petroleum consumption
Reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Reduced dependence on imported petroleum
4
Local Partnerships: Building Relationships and Strengthening Markets
• Connect fleets with fuel providers and industry partners
• Offer training and information
• Supply access to technical assistance
• Identify funding
• Provide public recognition
• Collect data and track progress
5
Local Partnerships: Stakeholders
Coalitions are made up of local and national stakeholders:
• Fleets:• Private companies• Federal, state, and municipal• School districts, universities• Airports, transit agencies • Taxi companies, ride share services.
• Product and Service Providers:• Vehicle and engine manufacturing • Conversion companies• Vehicle dealerships• Fueling equipment suppliers,
installers, and providers.
• Others:• Environmental and energy agencies• Alternative fuel and clean air
advocacy organizations • General public.
6
• Helps large private fleets significantly cut their petroleum use
• Provides fleets with tools, expertise and technical support to incorporate alternative fuels and fuel-saving measures into their operation
• Positions Partners as pace-setters for other fleets to follow
National Partnerships: Clean Fleets Partnership
More Than 25 Partners

EV Basics

Getting Started
Additional Resources
8
Benefits
• Increased energy security
• Improved fuel economy
• Lower fuel costs
• Low or zero tailpipe emissions
Considerations
• Higher initial vehicle cost
• Limited infrastructure availability
• Battery life
• Reduced all-electric range
Basics: Benefits and Considerations
9
Basics: Electric Drive Vehicles
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)• Powered by an engine and electric
motor• Does not use electric vehicle supply
equipment (EVSE) to charge the battery
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)• Powered by an electric motor and engine• Uses EVSE to charge the battery
All-Electric Vehicle (EV)• Powered by an electric motor• Uses EVSE to charge the battery
10
Vehicles: HEVs
• Battery charged by regenerative braking and engine
• Power from electric motor allows smaller engine and better fuel economy
Fuel-Efficient System Design• Mild hybrid: Cannot power vehicle using electric motor alone
• Full hybrid: More powerful electric motor, larger batteries can drive vehicle on just electric power for short distances and at low speeds
11
Vehicles: PHEVs
• Internal combustion engine uses alternative or conventional fuel
• Battery charged by outside electric power source, engine, and regenerative breaking
• During urban driving, most power comes from stored electricity
12
Vehicles: EVs
• Battery stores electrical energy that powers the motor
• Battery charged by plugging in to outside electric power source
• Zero tailpipe emissions, but air pollution may be produced through electricity generation
• Driving range of 100 miles
13
Maintenance and Safety
• HEVs and PHEVs have similar maintenance requirements as conventional vehicles
• EVs typically require less maintenance than conventional vehicles:
o Battery, motor require little to no maintenance
o Fewer fluids to change
o Brake wear is reduced due to regenerative braking
o Fewer moving parts
• Electric drive vehicles must meet the same safety standards as conventional vehicles
14
Vehicles: Vehicle Availability
Light-Duty
• HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs widely available
• New models rolling out nationwide
Medium-Duty
• Variety of HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs available
• New models becoming available
• Certified conversions an option
Heavy-Duty
• Several HEV makes and models available
• Light hauling, delivery, and off-road service

Charging Infrastructure Considerations
• Where do the vehicles park?
• How long are they typically parked for?
• Where is the electrical box/ electrical lines in relation to the parking area?
• Having an extra charger as a backup
• Using software to make sure vehicles are plugged in

Case Study: Lee's Summit R-7 School District
Just the Numbers
• Fleet Type: Delivery trucks
• Fuel/Technology: EVs
• Number of EVs in Fleet: Four
• Fuel Savings: $19,000 (July 2010 through March 2012)
• Infrastructure: Five charging stations
• Motivations: Air quality, energy security, cost savings
• First U.S. public school district to operate an all-electric distribution fleet, transporting school supplies and cafeteria food products
• Purchased four all-electric delivery trucks with help from an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act award
“I believe the district is ahead of the curve and will
continue to support alternative fuel vehicles and do our
small part to protect the environment for our students.”
—Ron Cox, Director of Purchasing and Distribution,
Lee's Summit R-7 School District, Missouri

Getting Started: PEV Handbooks
Helpful Resource:
Clean Cities PEV Handbooks are great
resources for fleet managers, station owners,
and individuals who are ready to start using
PEVs and infrastructure.

• What type of HEV/PHEV/EV is best for my fleet?
– Driving range
– Duty cycle
– Typical Passenger/ Load Capacity
• What level of charging will I need?
– How and where will my fleet’s HEVs/PHEVs/EVs be charged each day?
– How depleted will the battery be each day?
– Are there charging stations in my area? Are they public or private? Can I visit?
