Cars That Think

DECEMBER 4, 2023

These emissions are approaching a tipping point, and the companies responsible for creating these necessary products are increasingly looking at options to help offset their pollution outputs. And these are the products that generate most of the greenhouse gas emissions. While still new, the initiative is ramping up its activities.

The basic question addressed, which appears on the study homepage (epri-reports.org) is this: How would air quality and greenhouse gas emissions be affected if significant numbers of Americans drove cars that were fueled by the power grid?

Its first commercial-scale production plant obtains carbon dioxide from gas emissions from a geothermal power plant and hydrogen via electrolysis of water using renewable sources of energy from the Icelandic power grid (from hydro, geothermal and wind sources).

Unlike traditional internal combustion engine vehicles that emit pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, EVs produce no emissions during operation. This attribute directly addresses air quality concerns in urban areas, reducing smog and promoting healthier living conditions for city residents.

Today we go to a gas station. I mean, charging at a gas station probably will still be a thing, but it’ll mostly be something that you do when you do long-haul trips. Without connectivity, you cannot really integrate transportation with the power grid. Charged : What about wireless charging? It’s a must.

Power and Associates 2004 report ]. 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.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. We hope Ford will, and then move ahead!
