The medium case assumes that the plug-ins displace the average new car, which we pin to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard for each year; that carbon intensity of the U.S. grid decreases by 1 percent per year; and that plug-ins Instrument drive 80 percent on electricity Means .

However, there has been little research done to characterize which PHEVs consumers buy, and how they Agent drive and charge them Patient . [ CONSUMERS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

Many respondents looked into the e-bike specifically so that they Agent could meet their goals that were motivated by their environmental values to drive their cars Patient less frequently Frequency . [ ELECTRICBIKES 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

However, to do so could leave fleet owners open to problems finding drivers who Agent want to drive the EVs Patient . [ TAXIS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

Many taxi drivers do not own the vehicles Patient they Agent drive, which creates a unique purchase decision dynamic because the economic incentives of vehicle purchasers (vehicle purchase, repair, and maintenance costs) only sometimes align with those of drivers (fuel costs, passenger and driver experience). [ TAXIS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

However, the SAEJ2841 standard is most realistic for instances where its assumptions are valid ; i.e. consumers Agent do not base their PHEV purchase decision on their driving needs, charge once per day at home, don’t have access to or use public charging infrastructure, and drive their PHEV Patient similarly to the vehicle it replaced Manner . [ CONSUMERS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

Owner-drivers own both the taxi vehicles Patient they Agent drive and their own medallions. [ TAXIS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

Recent studies show that the way in which people evaluate the effectiveness and attractiveness of public transport depends largely on whether they Agent drive their own car Patient and how pleasant they find driving it. [ TROLLEY 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

The electric power sector has substantial advantages over the current petroleum-based fuel system, and vehicles fueled by electricity are far more efficient than the conventional vehicles Patient we Agent drive today Time . [ ELECTRIFICATIONROADMAP 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

People Agent who are emotionally attached to their cars drive them Patient more often Frequency and express more negative views towards public transport than those less tied to their cars [ TROLLEY 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

For example, a much higher gasoline tax may induce people Agent to drive less Degree , but it may need to be coupled with offsetting tax reductions to avoid being regressive. [ CARBONREDUCTION 0 MCLH 18/07/2104 ]

Not surprisingly, a higher percentage (79.2%) of people stated that they Agent drive a lot less or a little less Degree now Time compared with the time when they did not get an e-bike. [ ELECTRICBIKES 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

However, drivers Agent with low-speed needs and short daily commutes may still find a PHEV can fulfill their desire to drive without consuming any petroleum Method and at a lower purchase price Condition . [ TECNHOTRENDS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

To do this, the electric motor operates as a generator, recovering some of the kinetic energy and converting it into electricity that is stored in the battery so it Means can be used later to help drive the vehicle Patient down the road Direction . [ HYBRIDCARSANDTRUCKS 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

Thus, for a compact PHEV-20 (referring to a vehicle that Patient may be driven 20 miles Expanse before the state of charge (SOC) hits the acceptable lower limits Time ), 5.0 kWh is required for the usable battery capacity over this range of vehicles. [ PEVBHEV 0 MCLH 18/07/2014 ]

Before the concept of the smart grid, there were fears that widespread use of PEVs would strain the grid because PEV owners Agent would drive home Destination after work Time and plug their vehicles into the grid during the high-demand period from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays.
