ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN SA WORKSHOP THIS MORNING WORKSHOP EXPLORES THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE INTRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVS) IN SOUTH AFRICA DATE: TIME: VENUE: PARKING: COST: THURSDAY 16 OCTOBER 2014 08H30 FOR 08H50 - 13H00 GALLAGHER CONVENTION CENTRE AUDITORIUM PARKING AREA B (R15 PER VEHICLE) R990 EX VAT PER PERSON (REFRESHMENTS AND LUNCH INCLUDED) SPONSORED BY T-SYSTEMS The Electric Vehicle (EV) industry is gaining traction worldwide, fuelled by climate changes, dwindling fossil fuel reserves and need for effective communication modes. The EV is no longer a science project and commercial viability has been proven by the likes of Nissan and Tesla. These new technologies bring a unique set of challenges and opportunities, as they live in a complex ecosystem that brings together the traditional Automotive Industry, Energy and ITS to create an intelligent transport system. EVs (and Plugin Hybrids) have already arrived in South Africa and should be embraced as an alternate mobility paradigm. The EV workshop will explore the implication of introduction of EVs in South Africa by focusing on: • • • • The case for EVs and progress made thus far. Development of a charging network. Legislative and policy framework reforms required. Government support. ALL BOOKINGS ARE MADE ONLINE FOR SA AUTOMOTIVE WEEK The workshop will be hosted by industry experts from Vehicle OEMs, Charge Network Technology Providers, Financiers and Government that are at the coal face (or is that the electron) of the development of this fledgling industry.

World-wide adoption of the technology is accelerating exponentially and conservative estimates suggest that 10% of vehicles will have some form of electric propulsion by 2020. The challenge for South Africa is developing the correct mix infrastructure, incentives and policies to stimulate the development of a local EV industry and allow the country to participate on a global level. The talk will consider the approach of the South African government towards supporting the EV industry and will focus on: •The dti EV Roadmap •DST technology innovation support •uYilo E-Mobility Technology Innovation Programme •Standardisation of charging infrastructure •Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Alliance Mr Carel Snyman Green Transport Manager: South African National Energy Development Institute SMART MOBILITY We are all aware of the challenges we face in terms of transportation: Limited fossil fuels, increasing fuel prices, pollution, global warming, traffic congestion, etc. So this will not be my focus – rather I’ll put our problem in perspective and propose an alternative solution. In the process, I’ll be touching on concepts that may not be well known to the public. These concepts are the seeds and potential new opportunities in an industry being developed to serve new mobility options and their supporting infrastructures. These include component manufacturing, vehicles leasing, communications and energy trading. Mr Deena Govender BMW Group South Africa: Manager: BMW i BMW I - AUTOMOBILITY CONVERGES BMW i stands for a new form of future urban mobility, for visionary vehicles and mobility services, inspiring design and a new understanding of premium which is strongly defined by sustainability. As social, economic and ecological change proceeds around the world, new solutions with a special urban focus are needed. Electric mobility is an essential component in this transformation – and one the BMW Group firmly believes in. Supported by a holistic suite of new electric mobility products and services, BMW i is turning a vision into reality. Mr Amal Khatri Eskom Research Testing and Development: Chief Advisor Research and Operations ELECTRIC VEHICLES CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE UTILITY The characteristics of the transport sector are changing drastically internationally with the introduction of Electric Vehicles. Energy use patterns will change in the future as new technologies such as cars become dependent on the grid. In order for the grid to adapt to these changes the electricity grid would need to align itself better for the management of new load types. This gives rise to many challenges but also creates opportunities for the utility. Power demand may increase over time but through better management using a Smart Grid this load will be effectively managed. Dr Gary Kendall Nedbank: Sustainability: Enterprise Governance and Compliance THE CASE FOR TRANSPORT ELECTRIFICATION A VIEW FROM THE FINANCE SECTOR Oil supplies roughly 94% of primary energy that fuels the physical movement of people and goods, which is essentially the blood supply of modern economic activity. This high degree of dependency carries with it a series of implications and risks for the economy and society, including:Energy Security, Energy Costs, Social Impacts, Environmental Impacts, Resource Efficiency. The electrification of surface transport – personal, mass-transit, and freight modes – can make a significant contribution. In parallel to the transformation of transport, the energy system as a whole can and will become more integrated, more efficient, more resilient, and more sustainable. Aside from the substantial positive impact this will have on the South African economy and society at large, the new business opportunities that will emerge from this revolution are compelling.
