A study by researchers at the University of Texas found that in general, use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to an increase in ozone during nighttime hours (due to decreased scavenging from both vehicles and EGU stacks) and a decrease in ozone during daytime hours.

is shown with both UK and French grid mixes. Renault recently made public the findings of an internal study, published first in October 2011, detailing and comparing the lifecycle assessments (LCAs) of the battery-electric and two internal combustion engined versions (gasoline and diesel) of the Renault Fluence.

Use of electric vehicles would achieve greater reductions in GHG emissions, corresponding to the rate that the electric grid becomes cleaner, through greater reliance on renewables and low- and non-emitting generation. With a 62% share of light- and medium-duty vehicles in 2050 electric vehicles would consume 13% of grid-supplied electricity.

One upcoming technology, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G or VTG), may allow electric bus fleets to send electricity back to the utility grid during peak energy events. The tradeoff is in the budget: while faster, DC fast chargers require more power and are more expensive to install.

The on-road transportation (ORT) and power generation (PG) sectors are major contributors to CO 2 emissions and a host of short-lived radiatively-active air pollutants, including tropospheric ozone and fine aerosol particles, that exert complex influences on global climate.

ARB staff developed this strategy using a multi-pollutant scenario planning tool ( Vision 2.0 ) that quantifies changes in ozone and PM 2.5 The electrical grid and hydrogen supply supporting these electric vehicles will need to represent 50% renewable energy generation.

The bill requires electric utilities to draw up plans to implement a charging infrastructure for plug-in vehicles (that can include battery swapping, fast charging and other services). Smart Grid and Electricity Transmission. Title III, Reducing Global Warming Pollution , (the cap-and-trade title), has eight subsections.
