List of The Best 10 Alternative Fuels for Cars that Could Replace Gasoline

Get Electric Vehicle

Which are the alternative fuels for cars that could replace gasoline in vehicle? Let’s see a quick statistic. Methanol can be used in internal combustion engines either directly or as a blend with gasoline. FFVs are designed to run on blends of methanol and gasoline in different ratios. It is not a low value.

Audi launching plug-in hybrid versions of Q5, A6, A7 and A8 at Geneva show; 25 miles AER in WLTP

Green Car Congress

All new plug-in-hybrids by Audi use a turbo-charged gasoline engine with direct injection that works together with an electric motor that is integrated in the transmission. It is designed for high efficiency and maximum recuperation performance. When breaking, the new Audi PHEV models recover up to 80 kW of energy.

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.
