This means that in addition the power demand is more difficult to achieve with engine downsizing and transmission down-speeding alone. Thermal management of the electrical machine is another critical factor, because the duration of the boosting and energy recovery operating modes directly impacts fuel economy and emissions.

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. It is much more than that. Engineering Advantages of the PHEV.
