On a drive cycle representing routes with frequent stops and accelerations, the gHEV trucks exhibited a 20% improvement in fuel economy. On drive cycles representing routes with fewer stops and accelerations, the gHEV trucks demonstrated similar fuel economy to the diesels. Ah NiMH battery pack. Click to enlarge.

Fuel economy was similar between the gHEVs and diesel vehicles, except for the highest kinetic intensity drive cycle where the hybrid exhibited ~20% higher fuel economy. NREL collected and analyzed data for in-use fuel economy and fuel costs, maintenance costs, total operating costs, and vehicle uptime.

Monthly fuel economy of the retrofitted Honda Civic during the first 9 months of the fleet test. DOE researchers attributed the significant fuel economy reduction for May, June, and July as most likely being due to significant mountain driving and the likely use of the vehicle’s air conditioning.

Traditionally, maximizing fuel economy and minimizing GHG emissions are the main objectives of the control development. Although for the paper they worked with a NiMH battery system, the analysis can be easily extended to a Li-ion battery system. —Shaltout et al. Shaltout, Andreas A. 2014.2376472.

However, research suggests that most consumers have little experience or understanding of electric drive, and have difficulty quantifying their valuation of fuel economy. They note that other requirements may make NiMH unsuitable for PHEV applications. Axsen et al. Axsen et al. Jonn Axsen, Kenneth S. 2010.01.004.
