The cost to the government of those reductions in gasoline consumption and emissions can vary widely. Increased sales of electric vehicles allow automakers to sell more low-fuel-economy vehicles and still comply with the federal standards that govern the average fuel economy of the vehicles they sell (known as CAFE standards).

These have a potentially low cost base but need further development to achieve the performance and thermal stability required for the application. For example, the thermoelectric materials under consideration for the automotive application—both n-type and p-type, to form a couple—are silicide-based materials.

Current understanding and modeling capability of stochastic processes in engines remains limited and prevents designers from achieving significantly higher fuel economy, the workshop found. Achievable advances in engine technology can improve the fuel economy of automobiles by over 50% and trucks by over 30%.
