PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

On the other hand, drivers of other vehicles waste considerable time making special trips to refuel their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at the liquid fuel station or their battery electric vehicle (BEV) at the rapid recharging station. Slow Level 1 charging [ 11 ] should be used to recharge PHEVLER batteries whenever possible.

When (and How) Should You Use a DC EV Charger?

EV Connect

AC is the type of electricity that flows through power grids and into homes and businesses, including to power EV chargers. But if you’re planning a road trip in Idaho, Wyoming or North and South Dakota, for example, check where you can recharge in advance. DC is the type stored in batteries. Coverage is sparse for now.

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

Green Car Congress

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.
