While awareness is high and knowledge has increased since a Maritz Research 2006 poll, few consumers today purport to be very familiar with either electric-only, flex fuel or gasoline-hybrid vehicles. 17% of respondents said that they would want to “purchase an electric car as soon as it is available in their market.”

Additionally, the campaign has gained more than 8,000 “soft” fleet orders for these vehicles when they are available. Plug-in vehicles would combine today’s new electric-flex fuel (gas and/or biofuels such as ethanol) hybrid technology with a larger battery that could be recharged by plugging it into a standard wall sockets.

Once the State’s hybrid vehicles have been converted to PHEVs, the program will be made available to private vehicle owners through a competitive process. Since the utility grid has lower demand during overnight hours, the recharging of plug-ins would not add to the peak load. In most cases, these brands do not include renewable fuels.

There are many options available for reducing the fuel, energy, and GHG emissions impacts of LDVs. The market for pure BEVs is likely to be limited because their inherently limited driving range and long recharging times, and their high cost, make them less attractive to purchasers looking for an all-purpose vehicle.
