The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. Appendix E: PHEV and the Electrical Grid—fast charge v.

You have to drive through strange neighborhoods and try to locate chargers in vast parking lots where GPS is known to drop out of service. Based on our containerized hybrid power unit, these vehicle charging stations feature a mounted solar array on the roof of the container which charges the intelligent battery bank within.

Across the street from City Hall, some drivers are already plugging converted hybrids into a row of charging stations. And at the headquarters of Pacific Gas and Electric, utility executives are preparing “heat maps” of neighborhoods that they fear may overload the power grid in their exuberance for electric cars.&#.

The new digital meters are being installed by the thousands in many utility districts, and in SoCal Edison’s case, they expect to be fully installed by 2012. The grid today could handle many millions of EVs charging late at night when rates are lowest. To be honest, we’ll be very lucky to see that many.

It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. There are also, incidentally, income tax credits at the federal and state levels for installation of EV charging equipment. It makes no sense to me to own a gas-only car in 2030 or even just a plain hybrid.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
