Fraunhofer ISI/ICCT analysis of PHEV data finds real-world CO2 emissions 2-4x higher than official values

Green Car Congress

For their statistical analyses, the researchers made use of anonymized data that vehicle drivers had voluntarily reported to online portals such as Spritmonitor in Germany and MyMPG in the United States. The real-world share of electric driving for PHEVs, on average, is about half the share considered in the type-approval values.

UK Studies Suggest New Business Models and Policies Required for EV and PHEV Uptake; Price a Critical Issue

Green Car Congress

However, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), which do not suffer from this restriction could achieve significant market uptake while delivering electrification of the overwhelming majority of vehicle trips, the report says. The 2008 MAC curve provided high-level estimates of the anticipated levels of uptake for EVs and PHEVs.

Pike survey finds unproven technology and reliability concerns may hinder consumer demand for plug-in electric vehicle, although about 44% of respondents are interested in purchasing one

Green Car Congress

Other findings of the survey are: 83% of respondents drive 40 miles or less per day, and therefore would be well served by a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with a 40-mile range. Consumers may have a difficult time achieving positive return on investment (ROI), given the premium price of PEVs and relatively low gasoline expenses.
