California Energy Commission awards more than $1.8M additional funding to further UCSD microgrid project; energy storage, EV charging and V2G services are components

Green Car Congress

The Commission also approved funding of $220,554 to expand the campus’ burgeoning charging network for plug-in electric vehicles, through the Commission’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, created by Assembly Bill 118. This will reduce the indirect cost of solar power to California ratepayers.

US National Research Council Report Finds Plug-in Hybrid Costs Likely to Remain High; Fleet Fuel Consumption and Carbon Emissions Benefits Will Be Modest for Decades

Green Car Congress

Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC). The other vehicle, the PHEV-40, is similar to the Chevrolet Volt ( earlier post ).

Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

You can fill it up at the gas station, and you can plug it in to any 120-volt outlet. 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. A PHEV is essentially a regular hybrid with an extension cord. You dont have to plug it in.
