PHEVs Are A Great Solution For Many — But PHEV Incentives Need Fixing

EV Adoption

Like many issues and discussion topics today, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have become a divisive concept within the electric vehicle industry. People seem to either be fans of the dual-powertrain approach of PHEVs or have a huge disdain for them. The Knocks Against PHEVs. Black and white. Good versus bad.

EIA projects decline in transportation sector energy consumption through 2037 despite increase in VMT, followed by increase

Green Car Congress

For the Transportation sector, EIA projects that energy consumption will decline between 2019 and 2037 (in the Reference case) because increases in fuel economy more than offset growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Light-duty vehicle miles traveled increases by 20% in the Reference case, growing from 2.9 trillion miles in 2018 to 3.5

“Big data” analysis of Beijing taxi fleet suggests maximum electrification subsidy benefit from targeting medium-range plug-in hybrids

Green Car Congress

This research represents the first of a series of studies exploring the role of big data in environmental systems analysis for the emerging PHEV/BEV systems. While PHEV/BEV technology has developed rapidly in recent years, there exist great uncertainties in terms of market acceptance. In particular, consumer travel patterns (i.e.,
