Researchers call for major change in US policies supporting plug-ins; failure of “mainstream consumer bias”

Green Car Congress

Although sales of plug-in vehicles (plug-in hybrid-electric and battery-electric vehicles, collectively PEVs) in the US climbed more than 80% in 2013 to more than 96,000 units (Tesla has not yet released its final figures) from 52,835 units in 2012 EDTA ), the 2013 results still reflect a meagre new light-duty vehicle market share of ~0.6%

Average carbon intensity of oil sands production has dropped ~36% in last 40 years; still 12-24% higher than conventional oil CI

Green Car Congress

The carbon intensity (CI) of Alberta oil sands production has significantly decreased over the last 40 years, according to a new study by a team from Stanford University published as an open access paper in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Advanced in situ technologies also may hold promise for longer term reductions (e.g.,
