Our project is a research facility located on a research campus in Austin, Texas. We have chosen to provide electrical recharge stations for electrical vehicles as part of the scope of this project. Our research indicates that there are primarily four types of electrical vehicles currently on the roads in the US; (1) production vehicles by major manufacturers, (2) production vehicles by small independent companies, (3) owner conversions, (4) plug-in hybrid vehicles. As there are currently no production vehicles being sold, (GM even recalled their EV-1\'s and crushed them) and the number of long-range independent vehicles is very small, we believe that those vehicles most likely to be able to use our recharge stations will be owner conversions. Our research indicates that the majority of such conversions (because they typically are recharged at home) require only simple 120 volt receptacles. The Electric Auto Association, a leading US electrical vehicle promotion group, endorses the use of "a standard 120 VAC 20 amp outlet" for slow charging and AVCON conductive EV chargers for fast charging. The California Air Resources Board also endorses conductive charging. Although, still only in prototype stage, we believe that PHEV\'s will be the electric vehicle of choice in the near future because of the safety, range, and convenience the back-up gasoline engine provides. Now in mass production, HEV\'s are cheaper, quicker, and easier to convert to electric because they already contain electrical drive components. Heavy lobbying is underway for major automakers to sell PHEV\'s directly to the public, and the City of Austin has publicly endorsed PHEV use, including $1,000,000 in rebates to citizens who purchase PHEV\'s. (Electric Power Research Institute Journal, Fall 2005) PHEV\'s are also expected to primarily utilize 120 VAC plugs. We have noted that previous CIR rulings (9/8/2004, 2/2/2004) do not allow 120 VAC outlets only to satisfy the credit intent. Therefore, we propose to provide at each recharge station one (1) 120 VAC receptacle, and one (1) conduction charger similar to the Avcon EV Power Pak. We believe that installation of this equipment will provide charging options for the largest number of long-range electric vehicles likely to be in our city currently or in the near future. Does this approach satisfy credit intent of credit SS4.3?
