The global fleet of electric vehicles is likely to more than triple to 13 million by the end of the decade from 3.7 million last year, according to a report released Wednesday from the Paris-based institution, which was set up to advise industrial nations on energy policy. Sales may soar 24 percent each year on average through to 2030. Electric Boom The global fleet of electric vehicles is set to soar https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-30/electric-vehicles-on-the-road-are-set-to-triple-in-two-years 1/5 6/19/2018 Electric Vehicles on the Road Are Set to Triple in Two Years-Bloomberg 150 million 100 50 0 2017 2030 Source:IEA The findings illustrate the speed at which the world's transportation system is shifting toward cleaner fuels as governments focus on limiting pollution and greenhouse gases. Tesla Inc. and Nissan Motor Co. have some of the best known EVs on the road now, but major automakers from Volkswagen AG to General Motors Co. and Audi AG have followed suit in announcing dozens of battery-powered versions of their models. "The dynamic policy developments that are characterizing the electric car market are expected to mobilize investments in battery production, facilitating cost reductions and ensuring that battery production takes place at scales that exceed significantly what has been seen so far," said Pierpaolo Cazzola, senior energy and transport analyst at the IEA and one of the authors of the report. Here are some of the key findings of the IEA's report: 1. China will remain the biggest market Electric vehicles are expected to take just over a quarter of vehicles sold in the Asian nation by 2030, up from 2.2 percent last year, according to the IEA's estimates. More than half of global sales in 2017 were in China, followed by the U.S. The Chinese government has put a number of policies in place to encourage EVs, party of an effort to cut air pollution in smog-choked cities. In 2017, the government in Beijing it set minimum requirements for domestic carmakers on electric vehicle production through a credit trading system. It also extended <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-04/china-is-said-to-plan- extending-electric-vehicle-tax-rebate> a 10 percent tax rebate for consumers until 2020. China Leading Most of the world's electric vehicles are in China https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-30/electric-vehicles-on-the-road-are-set-to-triple-in-two-years 2/5 6/19/2018 Electric Vehicles on the Road Are Set to Triple in Two Years-Bloomberg China United States Europe — - - --- - -- -- 1.5M cars 1.0M — — 0.5M ELI 11111 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Source:IEA 2. EVs will displace lots of oil from the market Electric cars run on batteries charged by power plants, instead of on gasoline or diesel fuel. With an estimated 130 million light-duty vehicles expected on the world's roads by 2030, the IEA estimates about 2.57 million barrels of oil per day won't be needed. That's about as much as Germany uses each day. Last year, the global EV fleet displaced 380,000 barrels a day of demand, about half of what Belgium consumes. The IEA's estimate is more punchy than Bloomberg New Energy Finance's expectation that 2.23 million barrels per day will be displaced from the market by electric vehicles by the end of the next decade.

Governments will have to find new sources of tax revenue Governments around the world may lose out on $42 billion in tax revenue from road fuel sales by 2030 in the IEA's central scenario. In the report's most aggressive forecast for EV uptake, it was as high as$92 billion. Last year, China's fuel tax revenue was already cut by$2.6 billion because of the growing share of electric vehicles on the country's roads, the IEA said. 4. At least 10 more giant battery gigafactories will be needed Demand for batteries is expected to rise by a factor of 15 by 2030, largely driven by light-duty vehicles such as cars and vans. China's burgeoning market is expected to make up half of the world's demand, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-30/electric-vehicles-on-the-road-are-set-to-triple-in-two-years 3/5 6/19/2018 Electric Vehicles on the Road Are Set to Triple in Two Years-Bloomberg followed by Europe, India and the U.S. That means the world needs many more battery production plants like the Gigafactory <https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/gigafactory> that billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla is building in Nevada. That facility draws its name from the the word giga, meaning billion. It will produce 35 gigawatt-hours of batteries over 4.9 million square feet of operating area.

Buses are going electric too There will be 1.5 million electric buses <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04- 23/electric-buses-are-hurting-the-oil-industry> in use worldwide by 2030, up from 370,000 last year, according to the IEA. Almost 100,000 electrified city buses were sold last year, 99 percent of them in China. The Chinese city of Shenzhen is leading the pack with an all-electric bus fleet. A number of cities in the Europe's Nordic region such as Oslo, Trondheim and Gothenburg also have electric buses in operation. 6. Cobalt and lithium demand is surging Cobalt and lithium are key ingredients in the rechargeable batteries that power electric vehicles as well as electronics from mobile phones to laptops. Demand could possibly rise tenfold, but technological advances and adjustments to battery chemistry could also significantly reduce this. Since about 60 percent of the world's cobalt is mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo where child labor still exists, battery makers are under pressure to show that their products are made sustainably. This may provide an incentive to shift away from cobalt-heavy batteries. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-30/electric-vehicles-on-the-road-are-set-to-triple-in-two-years 4/5 • 6/19/2018 Electric Vehicles on the Road Are Set to Triple in Two Years-Bloomberg (Updates with point on fuel tax revenue under third heading.)

REASONS Reports by the U.S. Department of Energy have determined that electric vehicles produce lower tailpipe emissions than conventional vehicles. Based on numerous reports, reducing emissions result in lower air pollution and greenhouse gases, which are significantly better for the environment. As a result of the environmental benefits of electric vehicles, municipalities, including City of Miami Beach, City of Fort Lauderdale, and City of Boca Raton, have required private developers to install electric car charging stations as a condition of site plan approval for multi-family development. Similarly, Florida's Legislature recently passed a new law, which prevents condominium association from prohibiting unit owners from installing an electric- vehicle charging station at their own cost and within the boundaries of their designated parking area. To encourage the installation of electric car stations in multi-family buildings, the proposed• Ordinance will provide for the exchange of a maximum of six (6) regular parking spaces for electric charging station parking spaces without a need for a parking variance. Unlike other local governments' electric charging station ordinances this proposed Ordinance is a voluntary program, not mandatory. The developer will have the option to provide electric charging stations without the need for a variance from the parking requirements. This Ordinance has been requested by Vice Mayor Goldman.
