Abstract | The transportation sector is responsible for 33% of total U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. Gasoline, mostly for light duty vehicles, represents 60% of U.S. transportation emissions or 20% of total U.S. emissions. This paper focuses on plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technology, which adds additional battery capacity and charging capability to current hybrid electric vehicle technology. Plug-in vehicles thereby make possible substantial vehicle operation on energy derived from the electrical grid rather than from gasoline. |
