Hi all,
Just thought I'd mention that a successful ARC-linkage project was won here in Perth for EV research. Doesn't happen as often as we'd like, but it's better than nothing. Just hope our research proposal for round 2 goes just as well... (I work on plants, not electric motorcycles, but I know which would be a bit more fun)

Prof Thomas Braunl, Prof John H Taplin, Prof David N Harries, Mr/s Karl D Mischewski, Mr Terrence J Mader, Mr Luke A O'Donoghue

"Analysis and modeling of driving patterns for limited-range electric vehicles"

2010 AUD$101,000
2011 AUD$64,000
2012 AUD$64,000

Partner Organisations:
AEVA - Perth Branch, CO2Smart, Gull Petroleum WA, WA Department for Planning and Infrastructure

The electrification of the personal transport sector seems to be only a matter of time. It is important to study and model the effects of this sector now, in order to recommend decision makers on issues like standardization and infrastructure planning. Understanding and being able to predict EV driving and charging patterns will allow us to provide planning assistance for:

* Effects of day-time dependent energy pricing structure on EV charging behavior
* Optimal energy pricing to encourage off-peak charging
* Optimal number and location of EV charging stations
* Expected uptake of PHEV/EVs depending on petrol, electricity and conversion cost
* Expected additional energy demand for EVs and PHEVs with day-time energy usage pattern
