Study finds PHEVs will reduce net emissions of CO2 and NOx; upward pressure on SO2

Green Car Congress

Net emissions resulting from the use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) depend on the efficiency of the conventional vehicle fleet; PHEV CD (all-electric, charge-depleting mode) efficiency; charging strategy; battery pack capacity; driving patterns; and generator mix used for charging. Scott Peterson, J. emissions.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs are defined as PHEVs with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. [ a) PHEVs with smaller battery packs and shorter electric ranges consume more liquid fuel than a PHEVLER needs to satisfy its annual driving needs. 3 ] PHEVLER - EAA-PHEV Wiki. [ 15 ] Got EVs?

Auto sales drop to new low in Norway

Push EVs

plugin hybrids (PHEVs). For example, petrol-only vehicles (with relatively high CO2 emissions) are now taxed much higher in Norway. Consequently, the value of Norway’s gas exports nearly tripled in 2022 compared to 2021, and crude oil exports’ value rose by 55%. January’s bestseller was the Volkswagen ID.Buzz. comprised 66.5%
