Abstract | This report describes the first detailed, nationwide analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The "well-to-wheels" analysis accounted for emissions from the generation of electricity to charge PHEV batteries and from the production, distribution, and consumption of gasoline and diesel motor fuels. Conclusions indicate annual and cumulative GHG emissions are reduced significantly across each of the nine scenario combinations of PHEV fleet penetration; and annual GHG emissions reductions were significant in every scenario combination of the study. Cumulative GHG emissions reductions between 2010 and 2050 can range from 3.4 to 10.3 billion metric tons. Each region of the country will yield reductions in GHG emissions. |
