 News Update June 20, 2008  


On July 19, 2007 A Study by The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) concluded:
  • Widespread adoption of PHEVs can reduce GHG emissions from vehicles by more than 450 million metric tons annually in 2050 – equivalent to removing 82.5 million passenger cars from the road.
  • There is an abundant supply of electricity for transportation; a 60% U.S. market share for PHEVs would use 7 percent to 8 percent of grid-supplied electricity in 2050.
  • PHEVs can improve nationwide air quality and reduce petroleum consumption by 3 million to 4 million barrels per day in 2050.

But do we have 43 years to do this?
Why not start with today’s automobiles
?

Converting current automobiles, new or already on the road, to PHEVs will help atone for sins of the past. It will reduce our dependency on foreign oil and bring immediate relief to our distressed environment.

A PHEV with an electric range of only 15-25 miles can take care of the daily commute for maybe 70% of American drivers, and that figure could be even higher if charging stands were to be provided in company parking lots. Commuting, often at moderate speed, grid-locked in traffic jams, does not provide a lot of excitement but could benefit immensely from the elimination of exhaust gases.

In the affluent USA most drivers own a personal car, but in many other countries one family automobile is the rule. In either case, besides the daily commute the car must serve for longer trips during weekends and holidays so the ideal PHEV must provide satisfactory performance and driving enjoyment in either mode. The solution is not an electric vehicle with a small auxiliary limp home gas engine but rather your favorite traditional car enabled to take care of your boring commute in Plug-In Charge electric mode.
 

Poulsen Hybrid® system enables you to choose the car you prefer and turn it into a Plug-In Hybrid for the daily grind.
