JULY 17, 2015

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.

Applications are sought to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies that support commercialization of micro, mild, and full HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs. Because of the ongoing emphasis on downsizing, these engines are expected to have high mechanical compression ratios, which should be considered.

Turbocharging and downsizing (TRBDS): increases the available airflow and specific power level, allowing a reduced engine size while maintaining performance. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV): are hybrid electric vehicles with the means to charge their battery packs from an outside source of electricity (usually the electric grid).
