VEHICLE COST
Barriers
• EVs have higher upfront costs
• Government is not eligible for federal tax credit
• Operating and maintenance budget is separate from capital budget
Solutions
• Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis
• Leasing options are available through Nissan (only). State incentives apply. TCO can be positive with out incentives.
• Encourage finance leadership to take a big picture approach to fleet costs and be flexible with using capital money upfront to save on O&M down the road.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Barriers
• High upgrade costs including new panels and transformers for some installations
• Costs are hard to predict and vary greatly depending on site specific factors
• Who owns/maintains –Facilities? Fleets? End user?
Solutions
• View as a capital investment to facility – cost not tied to one vehicle
• Identify overall cost savings
• Think outside the box on funding sources and creative alternatives to a constrained grid
• Approach EVSE infrastructure as a modern fuel station
18CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION
INFRASTRUCTURE: A CAPITAL INVESTMENT
• Increasing the electrical capacity in a building is a capital improvement that increases asset value
• Electric infrastructure has a life span of 50-100 years and can be used over several vehicle life cycles
• Can be used on multiple vehicles in one day in staggered shifts
• Constructing a self-contained, closed loop fuel station in your building
• Upgrades can address overall facility electrical needs for all tenants in building
19CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION
INFRASTRUCTURE: COST BENEFITS
• EVs reduce fleet operating and maintenance budgets○ Electricity rates are low and stable compared to volatile fuel prices
○ Maintenance on EVs is much less than gas
○ Less maintenance and predictable low fuel costs reduce and smooth operating budgets
• EV Infrastructure requires minimal (or no) fuel administration○ Once initial investment is made, there are no on-going logistics
required to fuel vehicles
○ No permits, inspections, tank cleanings, fuel orders, deliveries, etc.
• Emergency Operations/Energy Independence○ In an emergency, electricity could still be available to power
vehicles (on or off the grid). Exportable power would be a huge asset
○ Reduces dependence of foreign oil imports
20CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION
INFRASTRUCTURE: CREATIVE FINANCING
• Capital project funds
• Scope EVSE into new building design or remodels
• Emergency preparedness funds
• Grant funds
• Government incentives and programs
• Private financing tied to increased fuel efficiency
• Adopt-A-Watt crowd funding
• Utility assistance
• Decentralize EV deployment
• Corporate donations (Nissan is donating 2 DCFC to Seattle)
21CITY OF SEATTLE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FLEET MANAGEMENT DIVISION
INFRASTRUCTURE: FINAL THOUGHTS
EV Infrastructure is a strategic long term investment. It provides a closed-loop, renewable* fuel station over several decades that will reduce overall fleet operating costs, increase the ability to operate in an emergency and achieve GHG reduction targets.
Service upgrades will raise facility asset value and can also address overall electricity demands of other tenants in the building.
*Varies regionally with type of power generation

LADWP Background
• The largest municipal utility in the nation
• Established over 100 years ago
• Safe, reliable, and affordable water and power provided to the City’s 4.1 million residents and businesses
• Area served is 465 square miles
• Environmental leadership is a cornerstone for LADWP
• Actively involved in Electric Transportation activities for over 20 years– 1st utility to establish an PEV charging rate in the early 1990s
– In the mid to late 1990s, facilitated the installation of over 400 public chargers
– Demonstrated over 350 PEVs of various types in fleet applications
Reduce dependence on petroleum
Customer Efficiency: PEV “fuel” cost equals about $1/gallon*
Environmental: PEVs reduce GHG emissions and improve local air quality
Better use of utility assets
PEVs will help grow green economy
*( Assumes $12.5¢/kwh, PEV typ. mileage of 3.3 mi./kwh and 26.4 mi./gal car)
Why Plug-In EVs For L.A.
City of Los Angeles Targets:
• In the near-term, ensure that 50% of the City’s light-duty vehicle purchases are EVs, and analyze conversion of other vehicle types to EVs
• In the long-term, ensure that the 80% of the City’s light-duty vehicle purchases are EVs by 2025 and 100% by
2035
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Fleet Strategy:
• 100% of all light-duty vehicle purchases are PEVs going forward
• Mixture of BEVs and PHEVs in the near-term with increasing amounts of
BEVs as range improves and infrastructure is deployed.

LADWP’s Current PEV Infrastructure
Issues To Consider When
Establishing Fleet Charging
• Number and Type of EVSEs- Level 1, 2 or DC fast charging- Current and future needs- Analysis of expected charge times
• Convenience and Location- Availability of power- Proximity to utility service- Contact your utility
• Installation Costs - Installation costs can vary considerably- Trenching and adding electrical service and/or panels add the
most cost - Get cost estimates and evaluate options- Consider applying for incentives, grants, and rebates
Fleet Wide Reports• 67 Plug-In Electric Vehicles• Started monitoring in May 2015 with FleetCarma
• Automated odometer readings• 62,000 + miles• 70% on electric power• 11,500 + kWh consumed• 43,459 CO2 saved• Track all charging data as part of vehicle
telematics system• LADWP owes the hardware and pays for an
ongoing data subscription
