Utilities Concerns
Utilities concerns
Time of use
Lack of notification
Clustering
Higher charging levels

Time of Use
PEVs charging at same time
Exacerbate peak loads
Create new peak load periods
Can be influenced by rate programs
//plug-in ready michigan

Lack of Notification
Direct impact on localized load
Notification provides the opportunity to apply evaluation process in a timely manner
Small number of PEVs can result in localized issues (clustering)
//plug-in ready michigan
//powerpoint//
Clustering
Multiple vehicles in close proximity
Residential
Commercial
Localized load on infrastructure
More critical in older neighborhoods
Difficult to plan
//plug-in ready michigan

Higher Charging Levels
Current market emphasis is on AC Level 2
Early data suggesting AC Level 1 sufficient for many customers
Market being influenced by “range anxiety” and nature of current gas based system
Higher levels, e.g. fast charging, more applicable to BEV
Anything beyond basic AC Level 2 increases potential for issues with the grid
//plug-in ready michigan

Resulting Issues
Transformer overloads
Subsystem upgrades
Local control panel
Power drop to location
Wiring
Economics – increased demand charges
//plug-in ready michigan

Summary, Conclusions
Michigan utilities actively engaged
Michigan utilities creating and implementing strategies to address major issues
Michigan utilities have policies, procedures and plans in place to respond to the growth of PEVs
//plug-in ready michigan
//powerpoint//
Recommendations
Promote open and timely communications with the utilities
Expand education tools and publications to include all phases of PEV ownership
Continue to allow utilities to experiment with and offer PEV/TOU rate programs
Develop and institute a consistent means of notification on the location of PEV owners
//plug-in ready michigan

Recommendations
Support education and implementation programs that promote workplace charging
The Michigan legislature should consider an increase in the RPS to reduce Michigan’s carbon footprint associated with PEV charging
