Why are we doing this ?

Future Car

Is she driving an Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV)?

Energy and Emission Issues

Clean Cities Program Nationwide initiative to encourage the use of alternative fuels, infrastructure and vehicles through local voluntary government and industry partnerships. It is a coordinated effort to meet requirements and promote technology implementation.

Clean Cities .

Increases public awareness Provides educational opportunities Provides more fuel choices Develops clean corridors Expands refueling infrastructure Supports regulated fleets

Clean Cities also Promotes

Idle reduction Fuel economy Conservation activities Mass Transportation Share a ride Hybrid/electric

Fueling (charging) Station Locator

SC3 Supports
EVs, HEVs and Plug-in HEVs charged by clean energy

The Florida Space Coast Clean Cities Coalition is facilitated By the Florida Solar Energy Center . It encompasses stakeholders from A 9-county area: Brevard, Indian River, Lake, Osceola, Okeechobee, Orange, Seminole, St Lucie and Volusia. www.clean-cities.org

National Effort

A voluntary, locally based governmentindustry partnership designed to advance alternative fuel technology in the marketplace

Possible Renewable Energy Charging

Solar electric power as photovoltaic (PV) system

32 BP Gasoline Stations in central Florida with grid-tied PV system to offset electricity for powering gasoline fueling pumps

Photovoltaic charging
On-Board solar Completely powering vehicle Power assist charging Battery maintenance Stationary power Grid-tied daytime energy offset Utility interactive charging Utility interactive with battery storage charging Utility-battery interactive Stand-alone charging

Renewable Energy (PV) Charging

Charge at night:
Archey

1 or 2 cents/mile to power EV (at 9 cents/kWh) vs. 13 cents/mile for gasoline (at $2.50 gallon)

A 2 kW rooftop PV array provides all the electricity for typical 12,000 miles/year
$12-$15,000 upfront cost 180 - 260 square feet 6- to 8-year payback >20-year life

Grid-tied PV system charger
