CalCars and PHEVs Frequently Asked Questions

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? While other national and international organizations have been supportive at government hearings, they havent yet begun to advocate for PHEVs. The enthusiasm for ethanol ("flex-fuel" cars use E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) is welcome.
