"To avoid injury or death please turn off the

vehicle"


Accenture EV Pilot (13 Nissan LEAF, started 31 May 2011)

9

Which vehicle?

The proposed vehicle is the Nissan Leaf which

stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly,

Affordable, Family car. The Nissan Leaf is a

five-door hatchback fully electric vehicle.

Features

This vehicle is equipped with all the features

and space which you can expect from a regular

internal combustion engine car.

On our mobility portal you will find our proposal,

specifications, pictures and useful links

on the Nissan Leaf. F.e. Apps for iPhone

Press

A lot of attention, press because of our pilot

Agenda




• Next Steps


• Installing charging infrastructure is expensive and requires subsidies.

• Supply Chain is new and supply, maintenance and service requires further development.

• Most charging poles have minimal capability

SITUATION

• How to deploy complementary services (outside energy supply) are necessary to make the business profitable.

• What is the potential value of equipping charging poles with telecommunications Business Models Benefits Costs

QUESTION

• Providing charging infrastructure is not profitable enough

• Charging objects are located inside city centres and could be used for facilitating wireless communication networks

COMPLICATION

Equipping EV charging poles to generate additional value


Coverage - feasibility

Complete coverage

Charging poles City Centre Amsterdam

• Backhaul: considering a partnership with a service provider for traffic backhaul

• Meshed configuration could benefit from integration with light poles to allow for additional Access Points. This would need collaboration with the City of Amsterdam. This could be combined by offering them the usage of WiFi service throughout the city.

• The charging pole does not have the ideal height for an extensive reach. An antenna should be preferably 5 meters above the ground. This improves with integration with light poles

• The power of the antenna can be boosted by combining multiple antenna’s. Challenge is to reach 600 meters.

Assumptions • 100-500 charging objects (?) • Geometrically perfect placement (?) • Ideal placement for range (?) • 500m range (?) approximately 2 poles are needed for 1 km2 coverage • 100 objects: 50 km2 • 500 objects: 392 km2

How many charging objects are located in the city center of Amsterdam?

The city center of Amsterdam covers an area of 8,04 km2

II

Development of Business Models, varying from a minimum Rental to

a fully Managed Service

I III IV

Minimum Service Maximum Service

I – Space rental • Service Provider rents

space in charging object

• Service Provider remains owner of the equipment in the charging point

IV – Retailer • Utility provides full

services (e2e) • Requires direct

relationship with customers

III – Wholesaler • Utility installs back

haul communications link to charging point and provides wholesale services.

II – Hosting services • Utility provides

telecommunication equipment in the charging point

• Service Provider owns communication service and customer relationship

Benefits

Off Load telephone companies

City services

Tourism

Internet providers

Business Model Structure

Exclude GPRS ( < costs)

• The opportunity to offer telephone companies that are dealing with over capacity, a WIFI-network as an “off-load” for this data.

• Providing city services, such as police, parking patrol etc., a WIFI-network that covers the entire inner city of the larger cities in the Netherlands.

• Back-up network • Main network

• Offer an interesting WIFI-package to municipalities for their tourism. They can buy scratch cards to use the WIFI internet for a certain amount of days.

• The possibility to offer internet providers a complementary service for their customers; WIFI access in city centres.

SAMPLE


The choice of business model determines the potential benefits that

can be gained

Benefits I II III IV What How

Off-load for service providers

• Analyze whether telcos are interested in the concept of a WIFI service

• Analyze possible partnerships for the placement of WIFI systems in street furniture

• Interviews

• Interviews

City Services • Analyze whether municipalities are interested in

WIFI for the support of their city services. These can be governmental (police, parking control, ambulance, etc.) or commercial (local shops, etc.).

• Interviews at municipality

Tourism • Analyze whether municipalities are interested in

offering a WIFI service for tourism.

• Analyze the potential for a partnership with a party like BOINGO, who can provide the service for these tourists

• Interviews at municipality

• Interviews with parties like BOINGO for potential partnerships

Internet - provider • Analyze if it would be interesting to offer clients of

a certain internet provider a complementary WIFI package in the centers of larger Dutch cities.

• Interviews with internet providers

• Interviews with potential customers

Agenda




• Next Steps


Next Step Hosted Model: 1. Work with Service Providers on more detailed Business Case and

investigate their interest on collaboration. Next Step Rental Model: 1. Possibly better suited in Utility Business Model due to simple service

model and limited upfront costs. 2. Contact Service Providers to develop more detailed business Case and

investigate their interest around WiFi and 3G/4G solutions.
