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

Green Car Congress

He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel. Water delivery provides a useful analogy for electricity and the way it works.
