The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure.
