Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

A lot of current and upcoming electric cars are in the 300-mile range. It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. And that will get you to your destination with something like 25 or 30 percent of battery range remaining. So what are these ranges in real life?
