A study by researchers at the Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Davis finds that buyers of plug-in vehicles (PEVs) are substantially less satisfied with the dealer purchase experience than buyers of conventional vehicles—with the notable exception of Tesla buyers. Cahill, Eric, Jamie Davies-Shawhyde, Thomas S.

Distribution of battery requirements for consumer-selected PHEV designs (shaded circles) compared to USABC, MIT and EPRI performance requirements. The present analysis explores both, with a particular emphasis on the latter—challenging untested assumptions regarding consumer valuation of PHEV capabilities. Source: Axsen et al.

Bubble chart of plausible mainstream PHEV buyers’ battery requirements (light and dark gray circles) and experts’s requirements overlaid on a Ragone plot of NiMH and Li-ion batteries. Questions for the industry, Kurani said, include how do we get from where households currently are to where PHEVs provide the most benefit?

However, notes a team from the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis and CATARC (China Automotive Technology and Research Center), just the year before PEV sales were stagnant, despite large subsidies and incentives. The 10% sales tax on vehicles is waived for PEVs. Six other China OEMs are among the top 20 PEV manufacturers.

Selling NEVs – which includes battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles but for all intents only means BEVs and PHEVS right now – is already challenging in China. The new plan encourages local governments to continue with preferential registration policies and indicates the sales tax exemption will continue.

and UC-Davis Emeritus and Catherine JJ DeMauro. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.)

The basic goal of the revised ZEV program should be to help demonstration-stage, low-GHG emitting technologies to commercialization, include fuel cell vehicles (FCVs); battery-electric vehicles (BEVs); and Enhanced AT PZEVs, which currently include plug-in HEVs (PHEV) and hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICE) vehicles, according to ARB staff.
