The Department of Environment has prepared a decalogue providing the information to purchase and install electric vehicle charging point in a building.

This document, which will be available on the web www.energiamurcia.es is the result of a conference organized last November by a Local Energy Agency of Murcia.

Thus, through the Decalogue, is able to discover the many advantages offered by the new electric mobility.

1.

Think hard about your mobility needs: The first thing to consider is whether you really need to buy a vehicle.

A good number of daily trips are made in short distances can be covered on foot perfectly with health benefits and the economy that this entails.

It is also found that the bicycle is the fastest means of transport in urban travel less than 6 miles.

2.

Discuss the nature of their movements: The vast majority of journeys today are of urban or peri-urban and not exceed 30 kilometers.

Electric mobility is by far the most sustainable solution for this type of displacement and to the autonomy of the vehicle is usually between the 30 (electric bike or motorcycle small power) and 200 kilometers (art cars) by full recharge.

Consider how many journeys over 200 miles in a row do you do after a year.

If you can count on the fingers may be self-limiting electric vehicles is not an issue

3.

CHOOSE THE BEST CAR THAT FITS THE MOBILITY: Currently, manufacturers are engaged in the development of electric-powered models being bicycles and motorcycles vehicles now have an expanded market.

So, you can find all electric bicycles and bicycle retailers in virtually every city has specialty shops and the sale of electric motorcycles.

The motorcycles can travel up to 80 miles a day with a small load, and even by more than 100 highway miles per hour.

Electric cars are already starting to market can go up to 200 miles on a single charge and drive faster than 120 kilometers per hour.

4.

PLEASE NOTE the current technological limitations of electric vehicles versus conventional: The electric vehicle differs from a conventional basically replacing the internal combustion engine (diesel or diesel) and fuel tank by an electric motor and battery.

While the electric motor wins by a landslide in the conventional efficiency and performance (90% yield of the electric motor compared to 30% of heat), a battery has a range still low when compared with what can be covered with a deposit fuel (200 miles off 800 kilometers).

Moreover, the price of the battery is about 50% of the cost of the vehicle, which added to that are not yet manufactured in large volumes, making electric vehicles at around 30% more expensive than conventional ones.

However, technological development and the market is reversing this situation and medium term expected to fall in line with costs and extend autonomy.

5.

MAKE A COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF COSTS BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND ONE VEHICLE ELÉCTRICOç: We tend to think that electric vehicles are very expensive, however, if you are considering buying a vehicle you should do before an economic analysis that takes into account all costs that you will incur over the life of the vehicle.

Be amazed at the results: While electric vehicles are still between 30 and 50% more expensive to purchase than conventional maintenance costs per mile are much lower.

Thus, while a conventional motorcycle 125 cc can go 250 miles on gasoline 13.55 euros, a similar performance electric motorcycle travel the same distance by just over 1 € for electricity.

Similarly, the maintenance of the conventional motorcycle cost about € 125 every 5,000 miles while the electric one would be around € 50.

Inspection of the ITV would cost half the cost of insurance and the vehicle would be 35% lower.

All this, coupled with the reductions in road tax for being non-polluting vehicles, and direct subsidies granted by government for the purchase of these vehicles not only make them more expensive than conventional ones, but also save much more money the higher the number of miles per year are made.

6.

NOTE TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE AID: bonuses, grants and funding: The government is actively promoting the electric vehicle through stimulus policies and incentives.

Thus, there are three types of incentives:

- Direct subsidies from the state through the Autonomous Communities cover up to 20% of the purchase price of the vehicle with a maximum depending on the type of vehicle.

- Tax credit of RT: the electric car owners do not pay the registration tax.

- Tax relief road tax in the municipalities: Reduction of a tax rate or even free of it during the first years after acquiring the vehicle.

- Other facilities and free services offered by municipalities: free public charging points, free public parking areas reserved, etc. ..

7.

SELECT THE TYPE OF CHARGER FOR YOU AGREE: In the market you can find different technological solutions for recharging electric vehicles.

So there are several types of chargers:

- Chargers individual houses

- Chargers multiple family housing, community owners, shopping centers and parking

- Chargers outdoor street

Each user must choose the solution that best suits your choice must prevail in that what he needs to recharge the vehicle daily for as many time as possible.

Therefore, the installation of a charging point located in the home is usually the most advantageous option for home users while multiple chargers are more appropriate for business fleets and public parking.

8.

PLEASE NOTE THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE LEGISLATION: It is expected that all countries should adapt their national legislation for development of electric vehicles, and in the case of Spain and draft legislation are in a state of very advanced development and consensus.

What we do is fully developed in terms of legislation referred to is the adaptation of the Horizontal Property Act for homeowners in a community of neighbors to install recharging points for electric vehicles.

Thus, an individual can install charging points in parking lots without permission of the community, but enough to communicate in writing.

The installation cost will be paid entirely by the / stakeholders / s.

Collectively, we can understand the point of recharge as necessary infrastructure to access new collective energy supplies, in which case it requires a joint resolution adopted by a majority of owners 1 / 3 of all building owners to turn represents 1 / 3 of the total coefficients of ownership.

In this case collective supply, the cost of installation is borne by all owners who specifically voted for the installation, while the rest must contribute to the cost and maintenance as they want to go using the same , they are authorized by the community, and updating the amounts that should have his day paid by the facility, also applying the relevant legal interest.

9.

CONSIDER THE ADVANTAGES FOR ELECTRIC RATES RECHARGE: The first thing to do is glance at the prices at which electricity sold various trading companies last resort and analyze these companies offer discounts if you also contracts for gas and other services with them .

Company may change or adapt your contract to the new conditions.

Second should be aware that the electricity price changes depending on time of day consumed in differentiating between peak and valley.

So, you should hire a discrimination rate with time to charge your car at the most advantageous times of the day (peak hours, at night from the 22 hours until the morning before noon).

You can save about half the cost of recharging the vehicle (and electricity consumption at home) hiring this type of differentiation hourly rates.

Also recently went into effect the so-called "Tariff Supervalle" designed primarily for the electric vehicle as it significantly reduces the price of electricity between 1 am and 7 am.

10.

DO NOT FORGET THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY ALTERNATIVE: If you have already decided to buy an electric vehicle that always provide cleaner energy and better use is not consumed.

Therefore, always assess before using their efficient electric vehicle if you can make the journey on foot, bicycle or public transport.

This will protect the environment, it will be much cheaper and improve your health.

Do not forget that efficient driving is also applicable to electric vehicles, so you should make maximum use of vehicle inertia by acceleration and deceleration smooth, limiting their speed, running your air conditioning only when necessary and at a temperature not less than 24 º C and, in general, anticipating traffic conditions.
