The report comes in the context of Victoria’s 5-year Electric Vehicle Trial (EVT), launched in 2010 ( earlier post ). Assumes there are only Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) available, with no Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) or pure Electric Vehicles (EVs). Scenario 1. Scenario 2.

The forecasters said that while plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales will play a role in EV adoption from now to 2025, puer battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) will subsequently take over and account for the vast majority of EV sales. BNEF suggested that only in Japan will PHEVs continue to play an important role after 2030.

This immediate problem affecting the 2010 Prius relates to software that manages the regenerative and conventional braking system. PRTM believes that the worldwide tipping point in HEV, PHEV and EV acceptance, whereby these vehicles become a major part of the automotive powertrain portfolio, will likely occur in the next few years.

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).

The Boulder team’s BAU reference scenario was unmodified from the 2014 EPA US9R database, including EPA’s efficiency and cost estimates for future gasoline ICEV, HEV, PHEV, BEV, and ethanol vehicles. Correspondingly, in the BAU scenario the LDV share of total emissions is reduced from 21% in 2010 to 10% in 2030 and 7% in 2050.
