MPSC PEV Preparedness Taskforce Objectives
Overall objective:
Facilitate and Support Implementation of PEVs
Throughout Michigan
How:
• Communicate and educate key audiences
• Monitor and anticipate industry trends to identify, share and
implement best practices within Michigan, regionally and
nationally
• Create and foster partnerships with regional and national efforts
(including EEI & EPRI)
• Identify and make recommendations for rates, infrastructure
issues, incentives and code changes

Challenges/Opportunities
Barriers being removed by the MPSC PEV Preparedness Taskforce
Over 5,000 “free” residential EVSEs for PEV customers in MI
Challenges:
• Target cost reductions for the customer by removing purchase,
ownership and operation barriers:
– Install residential charging with favorable utility, smart PEV charging
options
– Streamline permitting, inspection and electrical contractor training
• Educate the broader public and policy making entities on the activities of
the state/nation regarding PEV/Smart Grid Planning (MI Smart Grid
Collaborative)- Grid Interface will require standardization
• Develop on-line tools empowering purchase choice for the customer
• Customer acceptance will depend on availability of infrastructure
7
Challenges/Opportunities
Opportunities:
• Early notification process – Volt customers opt in to inform utilities
where they live – assists future local grid planning
• Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Communications Demonstrations
– OnStar, EPRI, Dodge Ram PHEV
• Secondary Battery Use – Community Energy Storage, power
quality/reliability & frequency regulation for the grid, back up storage,
etc.
• Battery Technology – Cost, size, weight, energy density, aging, thermal
management. Business and research R&D = Jobs
• DOE Grant(s) – Partnerships to spread the word and promote the
adoption of EV technology
• Support the creation of “Green” Technology jobs and advance the state
of Plug-in technology for future production integration

What are we learning? (GM)
Early Adopters Influence and Drive Mainstream Adoption:
• Volt early launch markets targeted early adopter markets
• Many Volt customers are former Prius owners – 90% of current Volt
customers previously from outside the brand
• Early Volt customers include:
– the environmentally/energy security conscious;
– the electrical contractors/inspectors who play an integral role in safely and
cost effectively installing level two charging at the home; and
– early technology adopters
• Prospective customers are motivated by current customers blogging of
experiences with their Volt to date: (5 months of real data)

What are we learning? (Detroit Edison)
We anticipate clusters of plug-in electric vehicles, but there are ways
to manage impact on the distribution system.
How can we mitigate the risk?
