PEV Workplace Charging Costs and Employee Use Fees
On December 4, 2015, President Obama signed H.R. 22, “Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act).” Section 1413(c) authorizes the Administrator of the General Services Administration, or the head of a Federal agency, to install, construct, operate, and maintain on a reimbursable basis, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure. This can include the use, again on a reimbursable basis, of 120-volt electrical receptacles for charging of Federal employee-owned vehicles at Federal workplaces. The U.S. Department of Energy requested that Idaho National Laboratory (INL) perform an analysis to estimate charging infrastructure and electricity costs that the Federal government would incur. Because some of the charging equipment does not include any electricity metering or data collection methods, reasonable reimbursement fees will need to be established. One such method is included in this document. The reimbursement method described may also be applicable to private businesses that wish to use a method to charge their employees an equitable reimbursement rate for charging personal PEVs at their workplaces. This analysis uses five different PEV charging infrastructure scenarios to provide 10-year total costs, cost per charge event, and cost per kWh to install and operate PEV charging infrastructure. The costs are in current-year dollars, with no inflation. The five charging infrastructure scenarios provide alternating current (AC) 110-V, AC 220-V, or direct current (DC) 440-V power from the grid to PEVs.
