Take care of that 20% with a small, efficient gasoline engine that runs at its optimum speed. However, 70% of vehicles can apparently be fueled with no increase of electrical capacity. The reduction in emissions results from electric operation being much more efficient than gasoline operation. 2) The U.S.

The catalytic converter that keeps the ICE from being a gross polluter in conventional cars and hybrids however, isn't kept warm by the continual embrace of an ever-churning engine in a hybrid with all-electric range. A supplemental electric heater comes right to mind. Both California regulators and automakers make this claim.)

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) would combine today’s new gas-electric hybrid technology with larger batteries that could provide an all-electric operating range of 25 to 35 miles or more. Everything needed is available: the power trains, the gasoline engines, the computer systems, electric motors and batteries.

But when you do, your car essentially becomes an electric vehicle with a gas-tank backup. Lifetime service costs are lower for a vehicle that is mainly electric. Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner.

Hybrid market share is about 6% of vehicles sold in California—more than twice the national average—and about 20% in Japan (30% if the kei car segment is excluded). The downside is the cost associated for the two large electric motors and associated power electronics.

In January GM announced the Volt, a smart idea that makes use of the two existing primary energy infrastructures - the electric grid and gasoline stations. With NiMH batteries - those that provide energy to every hybrid on the road and thousands of all-electric cars - the Volt plug-in hybrid could go into production today.
