Univ of Toronto study details impacts of interaction between driving patterns and electricity generation for WTW energy use and GHG emissions for PHEVs

Green Car Congress

Solid portions represent GHG emissions associated with gasoline propulsion. First, driving distance determines the proportions of electricity and gasoline consumed by the PHEV. C1 is shorter than C2, which is shorter than C3). For the hydroelectric scenario, fossil energy use is 81% lower for C1 than for HWY2.

Clutches are OWC1, C1 and B1. Concentrated winding NdFeB magnet. liter range extender engine. In designing the second-generation system, GM engineers built on the knowledge and data gained from the first-generation Volt. Click to enlarge. A key decision was to split EV propulsion between two motor-generators (motors A and B).
