Clean Fleet Report
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
One of the challenges Clean Fleet Report takes seriously is to test the EPA fuel economy ratings for the cars, crossovers and trucks we review, knowing efficiency is a top priority when looking to purchase a new vehicle. But with the 2022 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) we obliterated the “official” number in our real world driving.

Smart grid supports EV and PHEV deployment through real-time pricing structures and bi-directional metering. Bi-directional metering would enable customers to purchase energy at off-peak hours and sell unused, stored energy back to the utility during peak periods at higher rates.

Aspirational targets among seven countries participating in the Electric Vehicle Initiative would see growth from just under 2 million EV and PHEVs to just under 20 million by 2020. Between 2009 and 2011, Chinese buyers purchased 13,000 EVs and PHEVs—more than U.S. Source: “Electric Vehicle Grid Integration”.

Battery pack capacity vs. electric range for selected PHEVs in the US. On a drive along tightly winding, climbing and descending, and sometimes narrow roads, the A3 Sportback e-tron stayed planted to the pavement on its line through tight curves taken at speed. kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack packaged beneath the rear seat.

Change in total consumer expenditure for EVs and conventional vehicles (CVs) purchased in 2030 over the vehicle lifetime for 20% and 100% EV adoption scenarios. For the study, they define EVs as including both battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles. Alternatively if PHEVs comprise 90% of EVs, the ?TCE
