87 miles all electric) minimizes petroleum consumption, minimum lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are achieved with a mix of low-range (~25 miles) and mid-range (40-50 miles) PHEVs. A 2009 CMU study found that when charged frequently (every 20 miles or less), using average US electricity, small capacity (i.e.,
