Within the new joint SPA (Scalable Platform Architecture) there are several platforms that share the same basic chassis structure, seat frame, electrical system and driveline. The new architecture enables electrification on all levels, from start/stop technology to pure electric drive, without intruding on interior space and load space.

DeCicco, formerly on staff at the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), is now a Senior Lecturer at the University of Michigan’s School of Natural Resources and Environment. While including all fuels under a carbon cap is necessary for an effective climate policy, DeCicco argues, it is not sufficient for addressing all fuels-related emissions. “

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.

The new carmaker’s all-electric luxury sedan not only competes directly with the aging Tesla Model S, but also with the brand-new Mercedes-Benz EQS. Lucid execs say making an all-electric competitor for the classic Mercedes S-Class was always the goal—they politely dismiss the idea that the Model S would be any kind of target.

The standard AirPod is designed for the transport of people. However, the team concluded, a pneumatic–combustion hybrid is technologically feasible, inexpensive and could eventually compete with hybrid electric vehicles. In principle, compressed-air cars [CAC] could compete with BEVs in substituting for gasoline cars.

When IEEE Spectrum’s editor in chief, Harry Goldstein, needed to replace his 2008 Honda Fit in October 2020, he thought seriously about buying an electric vehicle. And with the transition now being supercharged by the proposed EPA tailpipe emissions standards , the pothole is quickly getting deeper. Two obstacles stood in his way.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there.
