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

Green Car Congress

We must act quickly as the planet is warming due to CO 2 production from burning fossil fuels. In addition, we need no more biofuel than what is currently in production now. The answer is that no such radical change will be necessary with the PHEV since it allows use of low demand time on the grid to recharge cars at a low power.
