Univ of Toronto study details impacts of interaction between driving patterns and electricity generation for WTW energy use and GHG emissions for PHEVs

Green Car Congress

Solid portions represent GHG emissions associated with gasoline propulsion. First, driving distance determines the proportions of electricity and gasoline consumed by the PHEV. C1 is shorter than C2, which is shorter than C3). For the hydroelectric scenario, fossil energy use is 81% lower for C1 than for HWY2.
