It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. AC Propulsion’s experiment was timely.

Moving goods by road consumes about 50% of all diesel produced; 80% of the global net increase in diesel use since 2000 comes from road freight. For many developing countries, improving the quality of diesel fuel and renewing the fleets of old, mostly second-hand trucks to reduce “black carbon” emissions are among the immediate tasks.

California Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67% lower greenhouse gases than gasoline cars -- even more assuming renewables. Cost increments for a plug-in hybrid compact vehicle will be 10-20% more than a regular hybrid: $2000-3000 extra for a sedan; $5000 for an SUV. Why Pay More for a PHEV?
