Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

If PHEVs became the major form of transportation, the use of fossil fuels would be cut dramatically. This is especially true in air, sea, and some ground transportation as well as in industrial processes. The impetus for this change came from a study by the US Idaho National Lab [ 2 ]. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.
