Inaugural Quadrennial Technology Review report concludes DOE is underinvested in transport; greatest efforts to go to electrification

Green Car Congress

DOE will focus on partial electrification because hybrid electric (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEVs) can access existing infrastructure. Near-term improvements will likely be the result of improved lithium-ion batteries. DOE’s electrification strategy is focusing on light-duty vehicles.
