Transcript of 1 US Forest Service October 2011. 2 US oil demand is 19.15 MBPD and 2/3 is used for transportation...
2
• US oil demand is 19.15 MBPD and 2/3 is used for transportation
• US spends $1B per day importing oil
• 5 billion gallons of fuel used in military operations in 2010 ($13.2B)
• 13.4 M gallons used by USFS ($35M)
• The DOD has over 200,000 non-tactical, fossil fuel burning vehicles in their fleet
• USFS has over 20,000 vehicles in their fleet
Energy Challenge: Cost and National Security
Present Situation
• Goal: Reduce US oil imports by 33% by 2025
• Reduce Fed Govt energy use by 30% by 2015
• Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007)
• By 31 Dec 2015 all new Fed Govt vehicles need to use alternate fuel
• Presidential Memo of 24 May 2011
• DOE/DOD Net Zero Programs
• 2% annual fuel demand decrease
• 20% decrease in fuel usage 2005-2015
Mandates for Change
3
• To reduce cost and Fossil Fuel Dependence “One Size Fits All” is no longer practical
• Fossil Fuel Fleet operating costs are usually 70-80% higher than electric vehicles
• A large number of non-Tactical vehicles in the Federal Fleet are of the light duty (LD) truck category or smaller
• Installation management• Facility and utility maintenance• Airfield maintenance and management personnel
• Most rarely travel more than 50 miles per day and rarely need to go over 25mph
• Facility campuses• Flightlines• Military installations
The need for Electric Utility Vehicles
4
• The US Forest Service has over 20,000 vehicles • Includes 11,100 vehicles in the pickup/utility vehicle category
• The USFS is under a number of mandates including:• 2% annual reduction in fuel demand• 20% total reduction in fuel demand from 2005 to 2015
– USFS is not on track to meet this mandate• Greenhouse gas reduction plan by agency for 2020• Use of PHEV when life cycle costs show equivalent values
• Electric powered utility vehicles can help the US Forest Service meet these mandates and more importantly reduce operating costs for a portion of the USFS pickup/utility vehicle fleet.
The need for Electric Utility Vehicles

The e-ride Solution
“They’re roomy enough to hold supplies for a full day’s work are easy for my workers to operate and are safe to
drive” – Wisc State Park Superintendent
6
• Cost effective and affordable• Less expensive than a small pickup
• Versatile – multiple options and models available
• Drive down cost, reduce energy usage and help meet Federal and DOD mandates and requirements
• Less than 5 cents per mile to operate
• 70-80% less expensive than similar fossil fuel powered vehicles
The e-ride Solution
7
• e-ride vehicles are available with a solar recharging option
• 400 watt PV system
• Recharge system can provide up to 15 miles per day
• Price is about $3000 additional per vehicle
• Some users never need to plug in the vehicle in the “grid” and cost less than 5 cents per mile to operate
• 70-80% less expensive than similar fossil fuel powered vehicles
• 115/120 volt service option as an outlet for power tools and devices

The e-ride Solution – Current Customers
“In the winter when our gas-powered vehicles won’t start, we use our E-Ride vehicles
instead, in specific applications. They always start right up regardless of the temps. In fact, they’re parked outside every night—no garage
—and they start just fine” – University of Wisconsin, Madison
