However, US coal shipments, which are primarily via rail, decline slightly. California’s Zero-Emission Vehicle regulation, which nine additional states have adopted, requires a minimum percentage of vehicle sales of BEV and PHEV. Freight rail ton-miles grow by 20% during the same period, led primarily by rising industrial output.

We all know the primary benefit of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) becoming a mainstream alternative to conventional internal combustion engines is to cut vehicle emissions. Currently power generation in Alberta is thermal-dominated with only four per cent wind power. However, what about the secondary effects?

While non-fossil fuels are expected to account for half of the growth in energy supplies over the next 20 years, the Outlook projects that oil and gas, together with coal, will remain the main source of energy powering the world economy, accounting for more than 75% of total energy supply in 2035, compared with 86% in 2015.

2 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): PHEVs combine an electric motor with an internal combustion engine. PHEVs can operate in electric mode for a certain distance before switching to the internal combustion engine or can combine both power sources for improved efficiency. #3 8 When was EV first made?

The Boulder team’s BAU reference scenario was unmodified from the 2014 EPA US9R database, including EPA’s efficiency and cost estimates for future gasoline ICEV, HEV, PHEV, BEV, and ethanol vehicles. Electricity generation from natural gas increases over time in both scenarios, whereas generation from existing coal plants declines.

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.
