Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. This means the more maintenance-free electrical systems of PHEVs offset the initial higher cost of batteries. In 2003-04, the US Marine Corps demonstrated a diesel-electric PHEV-20 HUMVEE.

Major study concludes achieving EU 2050 transport decarbonization goals will require portfolio of advanced powertrains; fuel cells, battery-electric and plug-in hybrids

Green Car Congress

more than 50% of demand—will be available for passenger cars, given the potential demand for biofuels from other sectors, such as goods vehicles, aviation, marine, power and heavy industry. Fast charging may become widespread, but the impact on battery performance degradation over time and power grid stability is unclear.
