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 In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) Appendix D: Vehicle Driving Statistics.

For example, President Obama has issued the United States the challenge of having one million plug-in hybrids on the road by the end of 2015—a goal which many keynote speakers supported but also identified significant barriers to achieving. Examples of advanced powertrains are turbo charged gas engines, diesel and hybrid. 8.6 / 10.6.
