As an example, the Chevy Volt was not eligible for the CVRP until February 2012. Approximately 2,300 Chevy Volts were sold in California before the Volt became eligible for the CVRP and, therefore, these vehicles are not reflected in the CVRP database. Of those, ZEVs account for 7,404 (52%) and PHEVs for 6,542 (46%).

High-voltage DC current is more dangerous and harder to interrupt than the comparatively sedate 48 volts used in smaller vehicles. I’m on the SAE Truck and Bus Electrical Systems Committee, and I know we are trying to write 48-volt standards now. When will they need to go higher than 1,000 volts?
