Distribution of battery requirements for consumer-selected PHEV designs (shaded circles) compared to USABC, MIT and EPRI performance requirements. The present analysis explores both, with a particular emphasis on the latter—challenging untested assumptions regarding consumer valuation of PHEV capabilities. Units USABC MIT EPRI.

PHEVLERs are defined as PHEVs with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. [ a) PHEVs with smaller battery packs and shorter electric ranges consume more liquid fuel than a PHEVLER needs to satisfy its annual driving needs. PHEVLERs use the existing liquid fuel infrastructure.

This project will optimize fuel-based control of novel combustion strategies in light- and heavy-duty vehicles to enable diesel-like efficiencies with ultra-low engine-out emissions. Increased availability of low cost carbon fiber can enable vehicle weight reduction and improvement in fuel economy. valve train vs. bearings).
