The researchers used five different scenarios to investigate how different factors will affect emissions and the costs of charging: Base Case: In this scenario, they assumed an electric vehicle fleet based on the PHEV35 model in GREET10 (similar to the Chevy Volt) and a fleet of power plants representing the PJM system in 2010.

As one of the fastest growing electricity sources in the United States, wind can be expected to meet a large proportion of the renewable portfolio standards. We need to keep in mind that fossil fuel plants are typically cheap to operate, so reducing cost can sometimes result in increased emissions.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. Fortunately, abundant renewable power is getting cheaper, while gasoline from finite fossil fuels may get more expensive.

Germany has already built around 100 hydrogen refueling stations (HRS), offering a capacity to support 40,000 passenger cars, though their current fleet is less than 1,000. Relatively small fleets of heavy-duty FCEV could provide sufficient hydrogen demand to viably operate an HRS.

And oil only seems cheap. That means we’ll be powering some miles with increasingly renewable electricity that isn't made from imported oil. So these retrofits will cost less to drive right away, benefitting public, military, and private fleets, and individual drivers. But let’s realize: defending our nation is never cheap.
