The project led by Tang-Wei Kuo from General Motors is focused on optimizing multi-hole injectors for spark-ignited direct-injection (SIDI) gasoline engines. Recently, the most popular SIDI gasoline injectors have been multi-hole type. Davis (UC Davis), R.Sankaran (ORNL). Bernardi (University of Illinois).

Despite the recent progress, a number of myths around the use, power efficiency and cost of fuel cells still exist. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds. The cost of making fuel cell vehicles has recently dropped dramatically.

and UC-Davis Emeritus and Catherine JJ DeMauro. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure.

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. Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. You dont have to plug it in.
