Fuel economy and electrical energy usage will not be combined under J1711 to make a composite efficiency metric for plug-in hybrids. Instead, fuel usage and watt-hours per mile will be stated separately, with the baseline charging assumption being one energy storage charge per day for each vehicle being tested. laboratories.
