PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs are defined as PHEVs with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. [ 1 ] The average daily driving distance in the USA is 30 miles (48 km), so PHEVLERs are vehicles with at least 60 miles (97 km) of electric range. About the authors. Dr. Andrew A.

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

In many respects, hydrogen FCVs could offer features that are similar to today’s gasoline cars and are more challenging to achieve in battery-powered vehicles, including good performance, large vehicle size, refueling time of 3-5 minutes and a range of 300-400 miles. —“The Hydrogen Transition”.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Everybody knew then that renewables were unreliable: that wind power fully works less than one-third of the time, and that solar power is unavailable at night (of course) and less efficient on cloudy winter days. So, ironically, renewables have in some ways hastened the decline of nuclear power. This was plain wrong.
