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 alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) The California Air Resources Board, CARB, is now considering incentivizing “e-miles” covered by a vehicle. (“E-miles”
