Florida Trends • Second highest number of EV sales and ownership in the nation • 1,300 publicly available DCFC ports (Level 3) • 900 publicly available Level 2 chargers • EV sales are <1%, but anticipated to grow to 20% by 2040 • Florida to receive $198M over next five years
• What amenities should be included at sites, where drivers will need to spend time during charging?
• How can assets be repositioned to meet evolving demands?
• How can we best engage stakeholders and the public to explore desired sites and amenities?
Questions for Planners
• What land-use changes will be required to accommodate new infrastructure needs?
• Where will stations be located to provide the most equitable access to EV charging infrastructure?

Projected EV Growth in Orlando
• By 2030, EV adoption is projected to reach 10-30% of registered vehicles, and by 2050, nearly 70%.
EV adoption rates and charging needs are growing rapidly
Projected EV Charging Needs, City of Orlando
• While Orlando has the highest number of public EV chargers statewide, more will be needed - over 5,000 plugs total - to support rapid adoption by 2030.
Clean the City Fleet – 100% electric or alternative fuel by 2030 City of Orlando Goal 36 EVs purchased (approx. 12 per year) AND 10 electric buses procured Progress Status
Fleet Transition • Bikes, Light, Medium and Heavy Duty • Orlando fleet has over 180 EV & Hybrid vehicles • Vehicle replacement analysis through 2039 • 30+ non-public chargers at municipal facilities • Piloting survey for employees to better understand potential barriers (real or perceived) EV adoption in our fleet • Employee Lunch and Learns and Ride & Drive events (CY2023) TYPE # OF VEHICLES PERCENTAGE OF FLEET UNLEADED 387 14.71% E85 1386 52.68% HYBRID 128 4.87% PLUG-IN HYBRID 6 0.23% ELECTRIC 96 3.65% FUEL CELL 0.00% CNG 72 2.74% PROPANE 8 0.30% BIODIESEL 5% 548 20.83% TOTAL # VEHICLES 2631 85.29% Alternatively Propelled

Create ubiquitous EV charging infrastructure by installing 100 public EV charging stations throughout the city 2020 Climate Challenge Goal 100 EV Level 2 ports (publicly accessible) have been added! Project Completed ($1.1M)
18
Public Infrastructure City EV Charger expansion: • 100 new public charging ports are now online • Locations: Neighborhood and community centers, parks, and garages • Incentives: EVSE added to BAP; Proposed rebate program
• Collaboration and partnership are critical to success, including for longterm maintenance and coordination.
• Identify siting criteria to develop a long-term strategy for continued expansion.
Key Lessons
• Clearly outline permitting requirements and coordinate regionally where possible.
• Assess charging demand and each program/policy’s impact across sectors.
• Allocate resources to develop and conduct outreach of installed EVSE and EVSE literacy.
• Identify partner roles for short and long term. Early stakeholder engagement is also key to get buy-in, funding.
EV Readiness Policy
EV Capable: EV adoption will increase drastically over the next decade. 20% EV Capable prepares new parking with basic elements that avoid cost prohibitive future retrofits for future adoption at minimal costs.
Purpose – Meet existing demand and future proofs parking spaces for EV adoption
EVSE Installed: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is a charging station that powers EVs. 2% new vehicle registrations are EVs in Florida, matching the proposed 2% requirement of new parking dedicated for EVSE
Impact to Date ● Demand will continue to rise rapidly: ○ Over 5,000 public charging spaces ○ Over 49,000 at-home charging spaces ● EV Ready Code: ○ 5 projects impacted ○ 113 EV Capable spaces created ○ 5 EVSE Installed spaces created ● What’s next? ○ Proposed EVSE incentive program ■ Higher rebates for incomequalified areas
Electric Mobility (E-Mobility) Task Force (2021)
Transportation stakeholders from government, utilities, transit providers and authorities, mobility advocates, schools and institutions, and others developed shared vision.

Electric Mobility Roadmap
New technology
What we heard last time: Vision setting for mobility in Orlando’s future
Equity
Multimodal
notes:
“Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared Mobility is majority of on-road vehicles… EV battery swap hubs”
“No one left behind… location, access, affordability… chargers, transit, car share programs.”
“User experience - seamless multimodal...End to end pass...moving away from vehicle ownership”
In a utopian world, what would mobility look like in Orlando 2030? Categorized sticky
Orlando’s 2030 Electric Mobility Roadmap established four goals Provide equitable and affordable access to electric mobility (e-mobility). Accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption in multiple transportation sectors. Develop a robust charging ecosystem. Advance multimodal e-mobility options.
• Bike Share: Two vendors / 600 e-bikes
• Scooter Share: Five vendors / 1,500 scooters
•
• Designated staging areas and equity distribution requirements • Implement venue and special event policies • Siting needs assessment and alignment with EVSE ecosystem Over 1.5 million trips since the launch of the program in January 2020
•
•
Micromobility
• Allows users to rent dockless bikes or scooters, equipped with GPS technology, without the need to return them to a specific location.
• Promotes sustainability and active transportation, reduces auto parking demand and increases recreational opportunities Complements existing transit service by offering “lastmile” connectivity Helps reduce traffic congestion and pollution by replacing automobile trips
• Benefits: Creates another affordable mobility option
Transit Electrification with LYNX LYMMO goes electric! • $1.9M federal grant (2019) and $2.8M federal grant (2020) • By end of 2022: 14 of 16 LYMMO buses electric • August 2022: • LONO Grant: $22M for electric buses and paratransit vehicles plus infrastructure • VW Settlement: $9M to purchase electric buses

High Speed Charging Hubs
RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE44 Value Statement for Charging Hubs • Residential customers – Customers who do not have access to charging from home – Travelers to Orlando • Commercial customers – Opportunity charging for the service territory – Ride share – UberGreen, Lyft committed to 100% EV by 2030 – Other commercial fleets Charging hubs do not create transformation, but the absence of charging hubs curtails transformation

RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE46 Potential Hub Locations • Current Location – 129 Robinson St. – Orange County Convention Center • Pending Approval – Airport Lot C EV Program Components
OUC’s First Recharge Mobility Hub One of the largest universal charging hubs in US Configuration • 20 High Speed chargers • 6 capable of 240KW • 14 up to 120KW • One of the largest universal charging hubs in the US
RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE48 Robinson Street Hub – lessons learned • High speed hubs take a lot of time to develop – Equipment delays, transformers were 16 week lead times, now > 1 year – Permitting, these are new concepts, so engaging permitting early is critical – Power source, do you have enough power to support high speed – Site preparation, findings can require additional design and construction costs, further extending timeline – Supply chain disruptions may require alternative vendors and/or equipment, think about alternatives up front
RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE49 Orange County Convention Center Siting • High Speed Charging hub – 6 dispensers capable of 240 kW – Site is capable of expansion
RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE50 Next steps for hub development • Establish a high speed charging rate • Initiate airport design • Site and begin design for sites 4-8 • Analyze and determine if Commercial hubs might be an alternative
What’s Next - Commercial hubs
RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE51
RELIABLE • AFFORDABLE • SUSTAINABLE52 Commercial fleets • There are over 5,000 fleets representing 120,000 vehicles in Orange and Osceola counties • This is a huge opportunity where decisions are made by a single person who operates the fleet
