Reply #94: 16.4% to 26.7% GHG reductions from PHEVs by 2030 - Electric Power Research Institiute. .

[JohnWxy]

THE RANGE AVERAGES OUT TO: 21.5% THIS USES THE EPRI ESTIMATE OF 41% PHEV PENETREATION IN 2030.


THAT'S FROM http://mydocs.epri.com/docs/public/000000000001015325.pdf#page=12


The following figure compares GHG emissions of model year 2050 conventional and hybrid
vehicles to the three PHEV types (10, 20 and 40 miles of electric range) in each of the three
electric sector scenarios (High CO2, Medium CO2, and Low CO2 Intensity).


PHEVs have lower GHG emissions in all nine cases than either the conventional or the hybrid
vehicles, ranging from a 40% to 65% improvement over the conventional vehicle to a 7% to
46% improvement over the hybrid electric vehicle.
