Flawed PHEV report has legs

Plugs and Cars

There has never been a shortage of stories in the press denigrating plug-in electric cars. Because people naturally, logically believe electric cars are a good idea. It takes a sustained effort to sow confusion about the obvious benefits of electric cars. As electric cars seek a place in the market, expect more such stories.

MIT Energy Initiative report on transforming the US transportation system by 2050 to address climate challenges

Green Car Congress

Values normalized to standard naturally-aspirated gasoline engine vehicle. Today, it is possible to identify a number of potential alternative fuels, including electricity, hydrogen, biofuels, and natural gas. However, the flexibility and lower costs of PHEVs appear to trump this simplicity, certainly in the nearer term.
