Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

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.

market share for all electrified vehicles (hybrid, PHEV and BEV). That means less carbon and lower cost of ownership. And we are the best in operating costs. The important thing to remember is that if we are serious about reducing carbon in personal mobility, we have to be very serious about efficiency. Click to enlarge.

From EV Range Anxiety to Range Confidence

Blink Charging

Similar to ICE vehicle drivers who vary in how often they visit a gas station, EV drivers may also vary their charging habits based on personality and acceptable risk. That means creating a personal range buffer to reduce range anxiety. Experts contend that range anxiety is mostly psychological. According to the U.S.

Electric Cars and The Volt by Seth Leitman

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

While, I might personally like a plug-in hybrid that then goes to hybrid, to get the market ready for the technology, an EV range / dual-fuel car can work. If you charge up the Toyota Prius PHEV you would get 200 miles per gallon and 40 mile EV range; the same as the Volt. 2) Electric cars cost pennies to charge.
