billion vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in 2015, with a concomitant increase in gasoline consumption. In addition, the housing affordability and availability crisis is forcing people to live increasingly farther away from work, driving up total vehicle miles traveled in the state by 2.7 billion in 2014, up 0.08% from the previous year.

Electricity is usually cheaper than gasoline or diesel on a per-mile basis. 10 Are EVs eco-friendly since we generate electricity from coal? First of all the efficiency of coal-based power plants is around 40% [ Ref ]. This comparison accounts only for electricity from coal-based power plants.

But in the case of the PHEV , the logic goes something like this: Roughly 80% of our daily trips are under 35 miles. The proper comparison between vehicle types is the “wells-to-wheels” basis, where the pollution from extracting the raw materials, shipping, transformation (e.g. And the remaining 20% are longer trips. 2) The U.S.

They found that with high rates of electrification (40% of miles traveled) the petroleum-reduction benchmark could be satisfied, even with high travel demand growth. The researchers also considered intermediate (20% electric-powered miles) electrification—halfway between the high and low.

Range is 220 km (137 miles) on the EEC urban cycle, with a maximum speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). The compressed-air car should be regarded as a car similar to the common BEV, powered by electricity from the grid but different in storage technology. The AirPod, equipped with a 4.5

Plug-In Hybrids Are Cleaner (Even on a Coal Grid) [ to top ] This entire section is finally obsolete -- because we now have a definitive study by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council. A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ).

A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Now all you hear is highway miles. Thats right.
