Technology upgrades like Full Self Driving remain available to buy, but are not delivered via an over-the-air update. Kia had its Soul EV on the market and made its presence known, then added the Niro EV (and PHEV & Hybrid), but now is adding the EV6 crossover. Autopilot remains somewhat controversial. First Drive: 2013 RAV4 EV.

The EV sector includes HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEVs (Plug-In Electric Vehicles), and BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles). While the most common place for recharging was at home (51%), many are also charging their vehicles while out and about. 4 Trying it for 30 days before buying it (40%). Base: Non-EV drivers.

That’s not surprising—the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, the company’s only previous plug-in hybrid, is a well-executed PHEV with an EPA-rated 32 miles of usable electric range that retains all the virtues of the Pacifica minivan. It was all-new for the 2018 model year, and was engineered from the start to accommodate 2021’s PHEV version.

Infrastructure, recharging and business models. Duvall looks at recharging infrastructure in two pieces: privately-owned (recharging companies, workplace and home charging); and publicly-owned. Topics covered the expected gamut of policy (especially carbon policy), infrastructure, batteries and consumers. Earlier post.).

The study by Aaron Brooker, Matthew Thorton and John Rugh aimed to identify possible pathways to cost-effective vehicle electrification by evaluating a variety of scenarios and technology improvements. Even so, they found, extra battery costs in PHEVs and EVs outweighed the gasoline cost savings. —Brooker et al.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) would combine today’s new gas-electric hybrid technology with larger batteries that could provide an all-electric operating range of 25 to 35 miles or more. For example, an area pest control company has pledged to buy up to 150 light weight plug-in trucks, once they are produced.

It is not enough to build niche vehicles that only a few can afford to buy or fulfill only a small subset of customer needs. Cost will remain an issue for years to come, and will not be offset by large scale mass production volumes. Within the context of technical issues, let’s consider the market. Michael O’Brien.

Once several thousand people get the opportunity to buy the likes of Nissan’s well made EV, the demand from the early adopters’ friends and family will expand exponentially. It’s interesting to speculate regarding the relative market share of the EV in relation to the PHEV. Of this I am certain. That’s a given.

If you charge up the Toyota Prius PHEV you would get 200 miles per gallon and 40 mile EV range; the same as the Volt. I kind of wonder that too since a PHEV should allow for an all electric range, then kick into a hybrid to get more energy savings for your buck. 2) Electric cars cost pennies to charge. What Could They Do?

Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles [EV], plug-in hybrids [PHEV] and fuel cell vehicles [FCV] at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit. Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil.

Duh, heres our $40K volt, buy it please? Considering the cost of batteries, these are disposable cars. The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants. Glad to see the variety & availability of electic commuter cars (vs hybrids & PHEV) is rising.

Probably the most needed and least controversial proposed change is the elimination of the phaseout of the tax cap that begins in the quarter after a manufacturer sells 200,000 BEVs or PHEVs in the US. These lower cost EVs will also come with smaller batteries that produce fewer carbon emissions than their larger counter parts.
