While battery electric vehicles have the obvious advantage of zero tail-pipe emissions, they are not equally advantaged when it comes to non-exhaust emissions. The traffic/exhaust component consisted predominantly of externally mixed soot particles and soot internally mixed with secondary particles. earlier post ).

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. That means we’ll be powering some miles with increasingly renewable electricity that isn't made from imported oil. Using existing technology, we can convert many of them into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.

Paradox 1 - Soot: There's an apparent emissions paradox with plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Driving longer distances on battery power means more cold starts as the internal combustion engine (ICE) stops and starts up again after the batteries deplete. A supplemental electric heater comes right to mind. Cold starts mean more pollution.

Current Hybrids are natural donor platforms because they already have most of the needed electric propulsion components, so the conversion process deals primarily with integrating larger battery packs.A What changes do we make to convert a gasoline-only hybrid to a Plug-In Hybrid?

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.
