The estimated annual fuelcosts for model year (MY) 2019 all-electric light-duty vehicles are the lowest of all the different vehicle technologies, ranging from a low of $500 to a high of $900 per year, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE). All annual vehicle fuelcosts are rounded to the nearest $50.
From left to right: EV, PHEV, gasoline/diesel, gasoline/diesel. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are jointly proposing changes to the fueleconomy labels consumers see on the window of new vehicles in dealer showrooms. Color is integral to the new schemes.
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory, with colleagues from Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, and National Renewable Energy labs, and the University of Tennessee, have published a comprehensive analysis of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for 12 sizes of vehicles ranging from compact sedans up to Class 8 tractors with sleeper cabs.

L/100km), if the vehicles were to meet this CO 2 level all through fueleconomy.
Strengthening the fueleconomy of medium- and heavy-duty trucks could create as many as 124,000 jobs in the US by 2030, with all 50 states experiencing net job growth, according to a new report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and CALSTART. per gallon fuel price. per gallon fuel price.
Fueleconomy was similar between the gHEVs and diesel vehicles, except for the highest kinetic intensity drive cycle where the hybrid exhibited ~20% higher fueleconomy. FedEx has deployed 20 gasoline hybrid electric vehicles (gHEVs) on parcel delivery routes in the Sacramento and Los Angeles areas.
Based on the results of the study, CAR believes the economic risk to the auto industry connected to mandating permanent fueleconomy standards in the long run is “ very serious ” The group recommends periodic review to assess the rate of technology development and cost reduction of advanced technologies leading up to 2025.
The US Department of Transportation’s (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to begin developing new standards for greenhouse gases and fueleconomy for light-duty vehicles for the 2017-2025 model years. Earlier post.).
For the study, they define EVs as including both battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles. Only in the case of high EV market share and a high renewable electricity standard (RES) do EVs make a material contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, they found. —Choi et al.
Though there are some exceptions to these positive results for some of the diesel versions of vehicles from a total-cost-of-ownership perspective, the overall direction of the results supports the idea that diesel vehicles are competitive within the U.S. Belzowski 2015.

Consumers’ expectations around the performance and purchase price of electric vehicles are so divergent from the actual offerings available today, that no more than 2–4% of consumers worldwide would have their expectations met, according to a new survey from Deloitte. range, convenience to charge and purchase price of the vehicle.
However, they also noted, high PTW efficiencies and the moderate fueleconomies of current compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGVs) make them a viable option as well.

The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a variety of vehicle-fuel pathways; the levelized cost of driving (LCD); and the cost of avoided GHG emissions. Selected fuel pathways were constrained to those deemed to be nationally scalable in the future.
A new University of Michigan study finds that making the switch to all-electric mail-delivery vehicles would lead to far greater reductions in greenhouse gas emissions than previously estimated by the US Postal Service (USPS). The Postal Service said in February that at least 10% of the new mail trucks would be electric.
Tax credits and gasoline prices necessary for various electric vehicles to be cost-competitive with conventional vehicles at 2011 vehicle prices. The electric vehicles that are the focus of this study fall into two broad classes: plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery-electric vehicles. Source: CBO.
Not only is it more powerful and contains up to 30% better efficiency than traditional gasoline, etc. Do they receive HOV access for their improved fueleconomy and ultra low emissions? In fact in 6 of the states, diesel fuel is penalized with additional state taxes. You move from one pump to the other. Earlier post.).
Based on the same draft EPA methodology, the Volt would also deliver “ triple-digit ” combined cycle fueleconomy along with combined cycle electricity consumption of 25 kWh/100 miles, according to GM. for electricity to travel 100 miles, or less than three cents per mile.
Ford is pricing the new C-MAX Energi—expected to offer 15 class-exclusive features, a 550-mile (885 km) total range and more than 20 miles (32 km) of electric-only range ( earlier post )—at $33,745. Ford’s other electrified vehicles include the Focus Electric; all-new Fusion Hybrid; and the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid.

creates new opportunities for our OEM customers as a compact and lightweight engine that delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency and total cost of ownership. Many of our customers have asked for a Cummins alternative for gasoline or other small displacement automotive diesel engines. A two-stage fuel filter system for the ISV5.0
This AOI is to address two major technical gaps in the performance of automotive aluminum alloys: Low strength among cost competitive automotive sheet alloys such as 5xxx and 6xxx series. High cost of high-strength aluminum alloys such as high performance 6xxx and 7xxx series.
The Responsible Battery Coalition, in partnership with the University of Michigan Center for Sustainable Systems, launched a comprehensive research project to compare the total cost of ownership of gas and electric vehicles (EVs). Where, when and for whom are EVs most cost-effective? Anticipated driving patterns.
The ranges of the levelized cost of driving (LCD) and cost of avoided carbon are narrower for the future technology pathways, reflecting the expected economic competitiveness of these alternative vehicles and fuels. Fuels or energy carriers in the study included gasoline, ethanol, diesel, CNG, LPG, hydrogen, and electricity.
According to its estimates, adopting the full combination of improved technologies in medium and large cars and pickup trucks with spark-ignition engines could reduce fuel consumption by 29% at an additional cost of $2,200 to the consumer.
In New Zealand, diesel and electric-powered vehicles pay for their road use through road user charges. Since some 36% of diesel is used off-road, such as on farms, by manufacturing, industrial and commercial ventures, and boats, a fuel tax for road use would impose an unfair burden onto these sectors, the government says.).
The demand for new roads and the cost of expanding and maintaining the transportation system have increased with population and economic growth. But fuel tax revenues have not kept pace because the federal government and most states have not increased gasoline tax rates since early 1990s, while inflation has eroded their real buying power.
In 2012, sales of hybrid-electric vehicles passed the one million mark. Emerging economies are stepping up their efforts to promote and develop clean energy. The costs of most clean energy technologies fell more rapidly than anticipated. Alongside these grim messages there are also positive developments. billion to US$4.2
Using current battery performance and cost, they evaluated PHEVs and EVs across a range of scenarios and configurations—which including 10-, 20- or 40-mile all electric range, with low or high electric power, with or without battery replacement, and with or without opportunity charging.

President Biden called on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for the next 90 days, through the busy summer driving season—18 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24 cents per gallon for diesel. Refined product prices are set by the marginal supply costs of bringing the incremental barrels of products to market.
Transportation sector gasoline demand declines. quadrillion Btu in 2035, as a result of fueleconomy improvements achieved through stock turnover as older, less efficient vehicles are replaced by newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles. Motor gasoline consumption will be less than previously estimated.
However, the cost of CO 2 reduced was comparable or lower than that achieved through less cost-effective policies such as the tax subsidy for electric vehicles, the analysis concluded. The small increase in employment came at a far higher implied cost per job created ($1.4 miles per gallon (9.4 million, or 0.7
