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

Green Car Congress

A new analysis of the real-world usage of more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles shows a large deviation between on-road CO 2 emissions and fuel efficiency and the official vehicle type-approval values. The real-world share of electric driving for PHEVs, on average, is about half the share considered in the type-approval values.

Georgia Tech study suggests unlinking EVs from CAFE and coordinating with power sector for low-cost benefits

Green Car Congress

For the study, they define EVs as including both battery-electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles. However, managed EV adoption can reduce the cost of achieving GHG reductions through a RES, they concluded in their paper published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology.

California’s newly ZEV rule introduces the BEVx; ARB staff expects these vehicles to play a longer-term role than plug-in hybrids

Green Car Congress

This vehicle has substantially more range than currently announced PHEVs, ARB staff noted, with electric range comparable to full function BEVs and will probably require ground-up BEV design. Manufacturers believe that the APU will be a relatively high-cost option on top of an existing, full function (100+ mile), BEV.
