At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? The rise of GaN and SiC power electronics will ultimately have a greater positive impact on the planet’s climate than will the replacement of incandescent and other legacy lighting by GaN LEDs.

Until then, we also recommend you look at the FAQ at the Climate Progress Blog and the FAQ by Hybrids-Plus , an after-market converter of hybrid cars, for answers to many questions! But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Whats Vehicle-to-Grid and why would I like it?

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Notice in [link] that GM carefully avoids claiming to reduce CO2 by shifting to the grid, but leads people off the track by focusing on smog related issues. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2.
