2024 Lamborghini Revuelto PHEV review: the green way to enjoy a $1million screaming Italian V12?

EV Central

In the case of the new Lamborghini Revuelto, the company’s first-ever PHEV, the answer is ‘Yes, it does’ Propelled by a 6.5-litre litre V12 engine behind its two-seat cabin and three electric motors, the carbon-fibre bodied Revuelto is faster, more powerful, and more fuel efficient than the non-hybrid Aventador it replaces.

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.

Researchers find Nissan LEAF creates less CO2 than Toyota Prius hybrid in west US and Texas, but more in N. Midwest

Green Car Congress

Regionally specific lifecycle CO 2 emissions per mile traveled for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the US can vary widely based on grid emission factors (i.e., the “carbon footprint” of electricity production and use), according to a new study by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.

Study concludes no one strategy sufficient for targeted GHG reduction from LDVs; positive combinatorial effects

Green Car Congress

Strategies considered included fuel and vehicle options; low-carbon and renewable power; travel demand management; and land use changes. Low carbon and renewable power strategies. Assuming low-carbon power can always be used to charge vehicles is an unlikely scenario for the next few decades, the team concludes.

NRC report recommends ways to overcome barriers hindering purchases of PEVs; vehicle cost, battery tech and consumer knowledge among others

Green Car Congress

Can travel hundreds of miles on a single battery charge and then be refueled in a time that is much shorter than the additional driving time that the refueling allows. Range-extended PHEV. Minimal PHEV. Its small battery can be charged from the grid, but its AER is much less than the average daily US driving distance.

Major study concludes achieving EU 2050 transport decarbonization goals will require portfolio of advanced powertrains; fuel cells, battery-electric and plug-in hybrids

Green Car Congress

The study focused on a portfolio of powertrains: BEVs, FCEVs, PHEVs and ICEs, taking into account significant advances in ICE technology between now and 2020. A world skewed towards electric powertrains (25% FCEVs, 35% BEVs, 35% PHEVs, 5% ICEs). A world skewed towards FCEVs (50% FCEVs, 25% BEVs, 20% PHEVs, 5% ICEs).
