Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

JULY 17, 2015

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. It offers a range of elegant solutions to a number of problems.

Discrete variable valve lift: increases efficiency by optimizing air flow over a broader range of engine operation which reduces pumping losses. This yields a wide range of performance optimization and volumetric efficiency, including enabling the engine to be valve throttled. Turbocharging and downsizing: 26% for cars, 15% for trucks.
