F.5. Other topics raised by respondents Electric Vehicles
If the introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) is expanded in the future, CO2 emissions may be required to be calculated based on differences in their time-of-day emission factors.
EV charging is executed via the power transmission and distribution network, demand locations where EV chargers are installed, and chargers. Unlike loads such as home appliances, EVs are charged indoors (basic charging) and outdoors (route charging and destination charging) at different demand locations, so it is desirable to set uniform standards for calculating emissions depending on the entity responsible for EV charging.
In light of this, the report points out "the need to develop specific guidance covering EV recharging scenarios.
F.5. Other topics raised by respondents Electric vehicles
Some respondents indicated a need to develop specific guidance covering scenarios for EVcharging. This includes answering questions regarding which scope (i.e., scope 2 or 3) the electricity used in EV charging should be reported depending on different operational and organizational boundaries. The following examples reflect some of the different scenariossurvey respondents identified as needing further clarification:
- EV charger hosted on reporting organizations property and is owned by an external supplier and independently metered. The external supplier has its own contract with the electricity provider. Customers charging their EV pay for electricity usage to external supplier.
- EV charger hosted on reporting organizations property and is owned by an external supplier but behind the same meter as the reporting organization. The reporting organization charges the external supplier for electricity usage associated with the EV chargers. Customers pay for electricity usage to external supplier.
- EV charger is owned by the reporting organization who also has a direct contract with electricity provider. Customers pay for electricity usage to the reporting organization.
- EV charger is owned by the reporting organization who also has a direct contract with electricity provider. Customers charge for free without any payments for electricity usage to the reporting organization.
