Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

JULY 17, 2015

We also mined or extracted and burned coal and oil, releasing millions of years of stored solar energy indiscriminately, altering Earth’s climate. Using fossil derived natural gas, which is a hydrocarbon, means that CO 2 is generated—in direct opposition to our goals for the climate. The BMW-i3 and the Renault Kangoo are examples.
