DOE proposes revising procedures for calculating petroleum-equivalent fuel economy of EVs for use in CAFE calculations

Green Car Congress

DOE published a final rule on 12 June 2000. The PEF adopted by DOE in the 2000 Final Rule is based, in part, on the existing regulatory approach which provides procedures determining the petroleum-equivalent fuel economy of non-EV alternative fueled vehicles. DOE has not updated this since the June 2000 Final Rule.

Report finds that total transportation energy demand in California in 2050 could be reduced 30% relative to 2005

Green Car Congress

Given the median biofuels forecast of 13 billion gallons of gasoline equivalent (GGE) in 2050, it is necessary to place a high priority on electrification of the transportation sector, if large reductions are to be attained by 2050. PHEVs sold in 2050 are primarily large-battery PHEVs (i.e. —Yang et al.
