Research and Reports

This presentation, given at the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) Public Forum and Executive Board Meeting, focuses on Fuel-Cell vehicle data and lessons learned.

Interactive data visualization on light-duty zero emission vehicle sales across the country

The EV Consumer Survey reflects data from consumers who: purchased or leased their vehicles from September 2012 through May 2015, received a rebate and responded to the voluntary EV Consumer Survey. This infographic includes a summary of the consumers and their vehicles, primary motivations for PEV acquisition, workplace charging, and household demographics.

Presentation given to a CVRP stakeholder briefing in August of 2016 that evaluated the potential impact of different income cap levels using historical data. Findings included: 1) even “high” caps exclude substantial percentages of the market, and 2) lowering the cap produces a non-linear increase in the exclusionary effect of cap (e.g., halving cap produces 5-fold losses).

This paper analyzes how the use of interactive web-based dashboards can inform program evaluation and market transformation efforts for sustainable energy technologies.

Explore the first three years of data, including consumer demographics and housing characteristics, purchase/lease motivations, decision-making processes, dealer experience, and awareness of special PEV electricity rates. Sort data by vehicle type, make, location, and other criteria.

View regional data on fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicle adoption in California.

Presentation covering information on electric vehicle consumers including who is adopting EVs, how current consumers are becoming aware and what messages are resonating with consumers.

The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) provides financial incentives for the installation of new qualifying technologies that are installed to meet all or a portion of the electric energy needs of a facility. The purpose of the SGIP is to contribute to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reductions, demand reductions and reduced customer electricity purchases, resulting in the electric system reliability through improved transmission and distribution system utilization; as well as market transformation for distributed energy resource (DER) technologies. This handbook establishes the policies and procedures of the SGIP for potential program participants and other interested parties. The SGIP has been approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and is subject to change in whole or in part at any time without prior notice. Any changes made to the SGIP will be published in revisions to this Handbook and/or posted at each Program Administrator’s (PA’s) website. The Program Administrators are: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), the Southern California Gas Company (SoCal Gas) and the Center for Sustainable Energy® (CSE)2.https://www.selfgenca.com/documents/handbook/2016 

Presentation focused on zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) in California's disadvantaged communities and the state overall. Information covers ZEV consumer insights and vehicle trends.
