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

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Gasoline/diesel fueling stations to replenish the liquid fuel for these engines are readily available. Appropriately using the slow-charging option available to all PHEVs, we can greatly increase the UF of the grid.
