EPRI / SCE Report Measures Consumers Interest in and Infrastructure Expectations for Plug-in Vehicles

Green Car Congress

JULY 26, 2010

Source: EPRI/SCE. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Southern California Edison (SCE) designed and implemented a survey to characterize consumers’ perceptions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and their expectations of their electric utility as a supplier of transportation energy and associated services.

Brattle Group: electric power sector investments of $75B – $125B needed to support projected 20M EVs in US by 2030

Green Car Congress

JUNE 25, 2020

Electric vehicles (EVs) will be a major disruptor for the US electric power sector, with the number of EVs in the US projected to increase from 1.5 The Brattle analysis focuses primarily on light-duty vehicles; electrification of commercial fleets and freight trucks will further magnify electrification-related opportunities.

New materials could cut parasitic energy costs for CO2 capture by up to 30-40%

Green Car Congress

MAY 30, 2012

For example, near-term CCS technology applied to coal-fired power plants is projected to reduce the net output of the plant by some 30% and to increase the cost of electricity by 60–80%. The energy needed for this process decreases the amount that can go into making electricity. —Lin et al. —Berend Smit.

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. But when you do, your car essentially becomes an electric vehicle with a gas-tank backup. Lifetime service costs are lower for a vehicle that is mainly electric.

The costs and benefits of cars extend far beyond an individual driver to society as a whole. Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary.
