16 | Study 1.2.2 Support for research into alternative powertrains Many governments currently offer support to the automotive industry in its efforts to develop alternative powertrains by helping them with the large initial investments needed in R&D. In many cases, governments are also helping build the national infrastructure needed for recharging EVs. Germany is a good example. The German government has recently announced a EUR 500 million program for developing e-mobility in the country. This program includes subsidizing R&D, in particular for batteries and other components, and building the infrastructure for EVs in selected geographical regions. France has announced a similar program worth over EUR 400 million to support the development of EVs and hybrid vehicles, and Spain, Denmark and the UK have also launched support programs. In the US, the government plans to invest up to EUR 113 billion in developing clean energy technology over the next ten years. An additional EUR 24 billion will be provided to improve, expand and upgrade the electric transmission infrastructure. The new capacity in green power generation and upgraded grids will help to meet the extra demand posed by EVs. To boost the development of PHEVs, the US plans to spend the equivalent of EUR 3.4 billion on smart electric grid development. The new technology will enable PHEVs to generate revenues for their owners when the vehicles are plugged in, serving as "capacity buffers" during peak hours. To overcome problems in battery technology, the US plans to provide EUR 2 billion for battery-related research and a further EUR 150 million in grants for research focused on EVs. At the same time, it will give EUR 17 billion in loans to automakers to accelerate the retooling of automotive plants to enable the production of fuel-efficient vehicles. The federal government is planning to spend some USD 600 million on outfitting its fleet with alternative propulsion vehicles. The Japanese government is subsidizing the development of high-performance batteries for HVs/EVs to the tune of EUR 150 million. Its aim is to cut the cost of battery cells in half by 2010.
17 | "Powertrain 2020 – The Future Drives Electric" And China? Its plans are even more ambitious. EVs are the key pillar of the Chinese automotive industry strategy, which focuses on the industrialization of EVs/PHEVs and key vehicle components. Pilot projects will run between 2009 and 2011 in several large cities as part of the "Ten Cities, One Thousand Cars" initiative, aimed at enabling cities to put energyefficient vehicles into operation quickly. To foster technological advances, the Chinese government is also providing approximately EUR 1 billion for research into powertrain technologies. The governments of industrialized countries around the world have recognized that technological leadership in the field of new electric powertrains is vital if they wish their auto industry to remain competitive. Consequently, they are willing to support their industries with significant investment programs. Such programs can make a significant contribution to overcoming the hurdles that stand in the way of new technologies becoming fully commercially viable.
