SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION INSIGHTS:

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY EDITION

Around one-quarter of global CO2 emissions come from the transportation of people and goods. LINK

Transports impact on the environment that can be solved through sustainable mobility include:

Transport provides a critical enabling environment to support economic and social development necessary to reach the SDGs, including: LINK

Do you want to find out more about trends and market shifts in sustainable mobility from global leaders? Join Climate Action at the Sustainable Innovation Forum on 9-10 December 2018 in

Katowice, Poland during UNFCCC COP24.

The Forum will welcome over 600 attendees representing the private sector, policy makers and UN agencies, cities, multilateral organisations and investors. This two day event will include a dynamic mix of thought leadership, deep-dive discussion and debate, capacity building and networking on

four key drivers; Circular Economy, Energy Transition, Sustainable Mobility and Climate Finance.

Global sales of electric vehicles are poised to climb from 1.2 million in 2017 to 1.6 million in

2018 and further upwards to an estimated 2 million in 2019. LINK

There is the potential to increase the number of electric passenger cars from just over

2 million in 2016 to 200 million in 2030. LINK

China is leading the market of electric vehicle sales with 48% market share followed by Europe with 26% and the US with 16%.

The upfront cost of electric vehicles will become price competitive on an

unsubsidized basis beginning in 2024. By 2038 electric vehicle sales will surpass

internal combustion engine (ICE) sales. LINK

Overcoming Challenges

There are currently over 90,000 public charging stations globally which are poised

to expand to over 120,000 in 2018. LINK

In the UK, around 40% of car owners live in homes where installation of a charger

remains problematic - shared residences or no off-street parking. The need to visit a

charging station is a necessity. LINK

A 2014 survey conducted by the US Department of Energy concluded that

employees that visibly see charging stations available at their place of work are about 20

times more likely to purchase an EV. LINK

In 2017 BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen and Ford said they would work together to install a

total of 400 public charging points in Europe, delivering 350 kilowatts, which will charge

a small car to three-quarters full in four minutes and a large vehicle in 12 minutes.

Infrastructure – charging stations

In 2017, car manufacturers targeted higher battery capacities of over 60 kWh that

increased the range of an EV up to 200 miles on a single charge. LINK

Currently, most manufacturers are offering 8-year/100,000-mile warranties for their

batteries. LINK

The cost of lithium ion batteries has been steadily dropping, prices have fallen below

$200 KWH for a battery pack. LINK

EVs are forecast to cost the same or less than a comparable gasoline-powered vehicle

when the price of battery packs falls to between $125 and $150 per kWh. LINK

Battery Life

Electric vehicles are unlikely to create a power-demand crisis but could reshape the

load curve. In Germany for example, an increase in peak load of approximately 1 percent by 2030 is expected and about 5 percent by 2050—

increases that the system can likely absorb. LINK

In the UK, National Grid have said peak electricity demand could soar above 85GW

by 2050, from just under 60GW today, driven by a shift towards electric heating

technologies and EVs. But soaring power demand could be curbed to an increase in peak demand of just 8GW by 2040 provided the bulk of EV charging

happens off-peak and the use of vehicle-to-grid technology becomes widespread.

Power Demand

Making charging more widely available at non-residential

locations

Vehicle to grid setups, where plugged-in vehicles can

supply electricity back to the grid

Energy management system for co-ordinated smart

charging; with a demand-response program, utilities

might offer cheaper charging for customers who are part

of such a program
