National Labs Developing Methodology for Estimating Real World Fuel and Electricity Consumption of Plug-in Hybrids Based on Dynamometer Data

Green Car Congress

Current rules for conventional vehicles do not work for plug-in hybrids because the vehicles run on both electricity and gasoline; industry debate centers on the rules for estimating miles per gallon. L/100 km (55 mpg) and electricity consumption of 5.5 This works well for blended PHEVs that have lower electric power capabilities.
