The index is built from the four key policies needed to improve fuel economy: fuel tax, CO 2 -based vehicle tax, fuel economy standards and labeling. The report treats different motorized modes separately, with a focus on light-duty vehicles (LDVs), heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) and powered two-wheelers.

A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology. It’s purely a software upgrade, and standardization is already in place. On the light-duty side we are working with ABB and Wallbox. In Denmark, we’ve done all those light-duty fleets. That’s one way.

Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. As shown in Figure 1, for electricity, the PHEV can plug into a standard existing electrical outlet, and for supplementary power it can fill its tank from a standard, ubiquitous and familiar fuel station.

Standardization of battery shape and chemistry is another consideration that gives one pause. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank. Forcing companies to conform to standardized batteries prevents them from designing better cars.
