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 PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

Audi highlights its range of electrification efforts; Q7 diesel PHEV, A7 fuel cell PHEV, BEV, 48V and more; 750 Wh/l by 2025

Green Car Congress

The Q7 PHEV will arrive in dealerships in Germany in 2016, and will likely come to the US, although perhaps with a gasoline-engine variant. Whether for a plug-in hybrid car (PHEV, plug-in-electric vehicle) or a purely electric car, the battery structure follows a uniform modular concept. Audi e-tron quattro concept SUV.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

Reinforcing this perspective, a 2018 paper from a team of Queensland university researchers “ Where are we headed with electric vehicles? ” [5] evaluated the comparative efficiencies of various power trains including ICE (petrol and diesel), FCEV, PHEV and the pure EV. 2015, p127) [1]. .

The EV Transition Is Harder Than Anyone Thinks

Cars That Think

Not so fast, exclaim researchers at Stanford University, who state that charging EVs during the day is actually cheaper, better for the grid, and healthier for the environment. The result is a 12-part series and e-book, The EV Transition Explained , that explores the tightly woven technological, policy, and social issues involved.

Emporia’s energy management system prepares for the bidirectional EV charging future

Charged EVs

I’ve been reaching out to players in the market, and really just fell in love with what Dr. Robert Erickson at Colorado University Boulder has done. He literally wrote the book as a power systems control engineer—it’s the number-one selling power systems control engineering textbook ever, so he understands this better than anybody.

Audi’s production electric e-tron quattro may set a new standard for vehicle handling; advanced vehicle dynamics control

Green Car Congress

In his well-known 1992 book Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics , Dr. Thomas Gillespie noted that: In the early decades of the 1900s, most of the engineering energy of the automotive industry went into invention and design that would yield faster, more comfortable, and more reliable vehicles.
