Abstract

Life cycle analysis techniques for evaluating the merits of advanced vehicle powertrains have been derived from the physical and engineering sciences. These techniques are contrasted to the economic project evaluation technique called cost-benefit analysis. This report examines recent preliminary total energy cycle evaluations of charge-depleting operations of PHEVs made by using GREET (Greenhouse Gas, Regulated Emissions and Energy Use in Transportation) model.
