PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

The fuel cost for driving an electric vehicle on electric fuel would be equivalent to the fuel cost for an ICE vehicle if gasoline cost $1 per gallon. [ PHEVLERs are better than BEVs in support of the electric grid. when the battery has recently sent electricity back into the smart grid). References. [

PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. And besides technical improvements, the systems will need to be built to last, using materials that are safe and durable so that batteries could operate more than 15 years and require very little maintenance over their lifetime. The need for storage.
