Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have been promoted as a
potential technology that can reduce vehicles fuel consumption,
decreasing emissions related with the transport sector and
dependence from oil importations. However emissions and cost
impacts of PHEVs are strictly connected with the power mix
generation used to produce electricity and when their batteries are
recharged. Potential effects of a PHEV fleet on the power grid have
been analyzed under different charging strategies, obtaining a
quantitative estimation of the additional load affecting the
transmission grid. The environmental impact of these vehicles is
estimated for the State of Ohio as well as for other different
countries showing the great importance that generation technologies
have on PHEVs final environmental performances. Cost analysis shows
how these vehicles can obtain great operation cost reduction due to
the decrease of gasoline consumption, proposing this technology as
a possible solution for decrease oil dependency of the transport
sector.
