PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle with Long Electric Range (PHEVLER - pronounced “fevler”) is a new category emerging in the electric vehicle marketplace. PHEVLERs are defined as PHEVs with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. [

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

Electric Island did what we hoped it would do, which was to kick off a movement towards knowing what was possible and what needed to be done. If you don’t build something like that, people can’t refer to it. This project is currently at the stage of conducting grid readiness assessments.] What happens when we plug in 1.2-megawatt
