Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Market Introduction Study: Final Report

摘要: Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Sentech, Incorporated, Pacific Northwest (PNNL)/University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), and the U.S. Department Energy (DOE) have conducted a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Market Introduction Study to identify assess effect potential policies, regulations, temporary incentives as key enablers for successful market debut. The timeframe over which market-stimulating would be implemented - they phased out are suggested. Possible sources revenue help fund these mechanisms also presented. In addition, pinch points likely emerge during growth identified proposed solutions Finally, modeling results from ORNL's Acceptance Advanced Automotive Technologies (MA3T) Model UMTRI's Virtual AutoMotive MarketPlace (VAMMP) were used quantify expected effectiveness policies recommend consensus strategy aimed at transitioning what begins niche industry into thriving sustainable by 2030. primary objective PHEV is most effective means accelerating commercialization PHEVs in order support national energy economic goals. Ideally, maximize sales while minimizing federal expenditures. To develop robust acceleration program, must examined light of: (1) clarity transparency signals send consumer; (2) expenditures resources needed them; (3) impacts on PHEVs; (4) that compatible and/or supportive each other; (5) complexity institutional regulatory coordination needed; (6) funding.
