Electric Vehicle Adoptions among CT Zip Codes atFlat and Off-Peak Electricity Rates: County Impacts

REMI SeminarLake Tahoe, 12 October 2012

Peter E Gunther Senior Research Fellow CCEA

Introduction: Zip Code Data

• Yearly Vehicle registrations by type 2005-2009• Aggregate Family Incomes• Commuters from Destination Zip Code (ZC) by

Distance Ergo electric and gas used in GM’s Volts

• Distance Ranges by Commuters possibly in EVs:– Volts 50 Miles– Tesla Up to 400 Miles – Sedans Out in Mid 2012

• CT Data on 252 residential ZCs out of 341

Background Process

• Used Annual Cross-Sectional Data on 252 CT ZCs to Estimate Registrations in Other 89

• Mapped Market Penetrations @ 5% and 25%• Approximation of Required

Transformer/Transmission Upgrades• Projected EVs and Total Light Vehicle Growth • Transformer Upgrades at:– 5% Market Penetration If Charged at Flat Rates– 25% Market Penetration If Charged at Off-Peak Rates

Concentrations of Zip Codes Requiring Transmission Upgrades in 2022 Flat Rates (n=341)

Concentrations of Zip Codes Requiring Transmission Upgrades in 2022 Off-Peak Rates (n=341)

Stepwise Approach: Bifurcated for Flat and Off-Peak Rates

• Based on Elasticities on the Spread between Flat and Off-Peak Rates in CT Developed a Cost Neutral Rate Spread for Homeowners to Attain Off-Peak Rates

• Incremental Household Savings on Gasoline • = Increased Electricity Costs + Increased

Consumption Reallocation• Off-Peak Electricity Savings $ Exceed Flat

Analytical Progression

• Straight Substitution of Electricity for Gasoline

• GHG Reductions – Amenity Benefits

@ $38.98/tonne CO2eq

• Capital Adjustments-Accelerating Actual Non-

Residential Capital Toward Optimum Capital

• This Study Produced Estimates of Actual and Optimal Changes to Capital Stock for Each Scenario

• Given that Reliability Is a Virtual Necessity,• The Gap between Optimal and Actual Is Used as a

Proxy for Capital Adjustment:– 40% Construction– 30% Producer Durable Purchase of Engines & Turbines– 30% Producer Durable Purchase of Transmission

Further Rate Adjustments?

• Scott’s approach is to adjust rates to cover capital costs

• Yet, in this scenario new electricity supplies are demand driven

• Test: If value added by utilities exceeds incremental capital expenditures by a significant margin, then no further rate adjustments may be need.

Conclusions• Off-peak electricity rates position EV owners to save on EV transportation

operating costs and to allocate more household income to other consumption than occurs with flat rates.

• With curtailed demand for gasoline, stations will close causing a drop in retail employment in all scenarios

• Prior to Capital Adjustments, the Off-Peak Rate Structure Generates More Jobs and Income

• Including Financing in the Model is Necessary – It Increases Employment and Income Impacts

• Utility Output Impacts under Off-Peak Rates are About two-Thirds of Those under Flat Rates.

• While Flat Rates Appear to Generate More Income this Occurs Only Because the Capital Adjustment Is $600 Million Higher than Necessary under Off-Peak Rates - A Measure of the Wasted Resources from Misguided Flat Rate Policies!
