The competition against PHEVs in 2030 is likely to incorporate a radically downsized, boosted direct-injection engine; an automated manual or 7-8 speed automatic transmission; advanced tires with C R at 0.006 or below; a 30% weight reduction on the glider; advanced aerodynamics with C D of 0.22 Tax the fuel.”

Although real-world fuel economy improvements from GDI technology alone are close to 1.5%, they can reach 8% by downsizing and turbocharging the engine, which can be achieved on GDI engines without loss of power compared to PFI engines.

Auto plants around the country are in danger of downsizing or shutting down altogether, and helping these facilities to retool for EV production instead makes economic sense. It could also go a long way toward building support for the EV transition among workers in the auto industry and its vast network of related industries.

“ But some scientists say that weaning the world off coal is crucial to slowing the devastating effects of climate change. It looks to me to be a combination of being emasculated by eight years of Bush/Cheney as well as the paper’s own decade of internal decline, downsizing and dumbing down. “ Some Scientists?&#

In fact, the optimized PHEV is much more efficient as a long range liquid fuel vehicle, because the engine is downsized. This helps to explain the climate changes we are now experiencing. The PHEV provides the advantage in all these criteria. Smaller and lighter, it requires less liquid fuel.
