Increased sales for hybrids and PHEVs. Despite the projected increase in LDV miles traveled, energy consumption for LDVs further decreases after 2025, to 13.0 Reductions in battery electric vehicles are offset by increased sales of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which grow to about 1.3 Overall findings.

NRC projections of number of PHEVs in the US light-duty fleet. Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC).

In the near-term (2011), lithium-ion batteries could grow to represent about 21% of the hybrid and EV advanced battery market, according to Dr. Menahem Anderman, President of Advanced Automotive Batteries and the organizer of last week’s Advanced Automotive Battery Conference 2009. By 2015, he suggests, full hybrids (e.g.,

Will be competitive at an oil price of $45 to $90 at their commercial date. Getting more miles per gallon out of conventional vehicles achieves the same end-goals of lowering carbon emissions and increasing energy security as the movement toward the electrification of transport. The game changer. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G).

However, consumer demand for PEVs is quite uncertain and, barring another global spike in oil prices, may be limited to a minor percentage of new vehicle purchasers (e.g., BEVs vs. PHEVS. However, the obstacles to mass commercialization of BEVs are even greater than the obstacles for PHEVs.

Compare GHG emissions and costs of PHEV and BPEV with those of regular cars. Focus, Renault Megane, Toyota Corolla and Opel Astra—in their analysis, and compared EV configurations to a regular gasoline car, diesel car, parallel hybrid car and series HEV (SHEV). They assumed an oil price of US$80/bbl, close to the short-term.

They own the hybrid market and are doing quite well, thank you, so why adopt a whole new technology that’s untried on a large scale? Those who make the decisions to forgo battery EVs in favor of plug- in hybrids only ignore a sizable market. which beat Nissan in introducing hybrid vehicles. Pricing isn’t set.
