The DOE-QTR defines six key strategies: increase vehicle efficiency; electrification of the light duty fleet; deploy alternative fuels; increase building and industrial efficiency; modernize the electrical grid; and deploy clean electricity. DOE’s most significant role in transport research is here.

I personally love this distinctive grid at the front, it really looks like it means business. Here’s the Peugeot lion with a dichroic treatment on it to signify that it’s electric, apparently the badge changes colour according to the light and angle, to me from here it looks blue.

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

The overarching question was not whether the light-duty transportation sector would electrify to a significant degree, but when. The impact from plug-in electric vehicles on the grid could be very substantial. One the issues for PG&E is the impact of peak demand on the grid. Infrastructure, recharging and business models.
