Inaugural Quadrennial Technology Review report concludes DOE is underinvested in transport; greatest efforts to go to electrification

Green Car Congress

Furthermore, DOE will only support technologies that emit less carbon than incumbents—in keeping with our national energy goals. The performance, low cost, and fuel flexibility of ICEs makes it likely that they will continue to dominate the vehicle fleet for at least the next several decades, according to the report. fleets).
