PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

APRIL 22, 2016

These vehicles are the green machines that will provide a critical part of the renewable and sustainable society that we need for the future. [ That is, PHEVLERs can store electricity whenever sun and wind-generated electricity is plentiful, and then can send stored power back into the smart grid at times when more electric power is needed.

OCTOBER 8, 2021

Six tonnes of stored hydrogen will be used to produce approximately 200 MWh electricity during times of high demand, and may be also used to make chemicals and other fuels. The project will provide insights about integrating nuclear energy with hydrogen production technologies and inform future clean hydrogen production deployments at scale.

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

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 29, 2009

As discussed, the proposed method utilizes a simplifying assumption that the PHEV will deplete its stored battery energy over the same distance in real-world cycles as in the dynamometer tests, which may not be the case in reality. This works well for blended PHEVs that have lower electric power capabilities. Source: Gonder et al.
