Electric Car News; 64 Percent of Electric Vehicle Charge Points in the United States to be Residential Units, Says Pike Research
BOULDER, Colo.--(http://www.investorideas.com/ clean energy stocks blog )--The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) over the next several years will be accompanied by a significant buildout of EV charging infrastructure including public, private, workplace, and residential charging equipment. A recent report from Pike Research forecasts that a total of 4.7 million charge points will be installed globally during the period from 2010 to 2015, however the cleantech market intelligence firm expects that the mix of charging station types will vary significantly by region. Unique among EV markets, the United States will be led by residential charging units, which will represent 64% of the country’s 974,000 charge points to be installed by 2015.
“In Asia Pacific and Europe, where multi-family housing is more common, just 35% of charge points will be residential, and EV drivers will rely much more heavily on public or private charging equipment for their primary recharging locations.”
.“Compared to the rest of the world, a greater percentage of U.S. electric vehicle owners will live in single-family homes,” says senior analyst John Gartner. “In Asia Pacific and Europe, where multi-family housing is more common, just 35% of charge points will be residential, and EV drivers will rely much more heavily on public or private charging equipment for their primary recharging locations.”
Gartner adds that North America will also see a higher percentage of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which require less charging infrastructure due to smaller battery packs and gasoline engines that extend their range. In addition, he says, utilities outside North America will more frequently serve as operators of public charging stations. These factors will result in a higher ratio of charging equipment to electrified vehicles in Asia Pacific and Western Europe, compared to the United States and Canada.
Pike Research’s study, “Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment”, analyzes technology and business issues related to the buildout of EV charging infrastructure in global markets. It examines the market for residential, public, private, and workplace charging stations as well as reviewing the key operational and technological impacts of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles on the grid. Analysis includes an in-depth assessment of market drivers and barriers, along with profiles of charging infrastructure vendors and utilities. Detailed forecasts for EV charging equipment are included through 2015. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website.

Electric Car News; Top Things You Don't Know About the Electric Car (But Should)
Electric Car News; Top Things You Don't Know About the Electric Car (But Should)
September 10th - (Clean energy stocks blog)
1. HOW THE HECK IT WORKS
In a (layman's) nutshell...Rechargeable batteries provide electricity to a controller, which powers a motor, which, in turn, spins the wheels. Yup, that's it. Instead of filling up with gas, batteries are "filled up" with electricity. Recharging can be done by plugging into a normal 120- or 240-volt electrical outlet and takes anywhere from 4–10 hours.
2. HOW FAR CAN IT GO
Though driving range might vary depending on the type of vehicle and batteries, most EVs can go 80–100 miles on a single charge. And while that's not sufficient for a Thelma & Louise-type adventure, for the general population, it's plenty of power to get to work and home again with a few errands in between. Plus, similar to fuel-powered cars, the way you drive an electric car can affect battery efficiency.
3. HOW SAFE IT IS
Because there are 3 different categories of electric cars – Highway Capable, 3-wheeled "motorcycles," and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) – safety standards vary somewhat. Low-speed NEVs and 3-wheeled vehicles are currently subject to different requirements, but all highway-capable electric vehicles are regulated by the same standards as gas-powered vehicles. And in fact, in March of this year, 41 countries met in Geneva and agreed on international safety standards for fully electric vehicles.
4. HOW MUCH IT COSTS
Until recently, the Tesla Roadster was one of the few highway-worthy EVs on the market. And at $110K a pop, it was about as accessible as a NASA space shuttle. But with the Chevy Volt expected to hit showrooms later this year at the high end of $30K, and the Nissan LEAF scheduled for a December release at around $28–35K, electric cars are becoming more and more affordable.
5. HOW MUCH IT SAVES
Subtract from these prices the $7,500 federal tax credit you’ll get if you buy an electric car before the end of 2011, and the odds of being able to afford an EV in the near future jump from out-of-this-world to pretty-darn-good. And that’s without mentioning how much you can save on gas and maintenance.
5.1 HOW IT ALL ADDS UP
Electrical vehicles are 100% emission-free and 97% cleaner than gas-powered vehicles. According to Scientific American.com, the cost of charging an electric vehicle is equivalent to paying 75 cents per gallon in gas. Over the life of a vehicle, the total “fuel” savings are likely to be thousands of dollars. They’re also 3 times as efficient. It all adds up to a happier, richer you and a happier, richer planet.
