Parameters of the design space included all-electric (AE) or blended (B) operation, and CD ranges of 10, 20 or 40 miles. They note that other requirements may make NiMH unsuitable for PHEV applications. The USABC specifies two PHEV designs to guide its battery requirements: an AE-10 crossover and AE-40 mid-sized car.
