Key Messages

There are many ways to design a PHEV

the best design depends on your objective

PHEVs provide potential for petroleumdisplacement through fuel flexibility

what are the cost and emissions tradeoffs

PHEV design space has many dimensions

simulation being used for detailed exploration

Simulations using real-world travel data providesearly glimpse into in-use operation

Some PHEV Definitions

Charge-Depleting (CD) Mode: An operating mode in which the energy storage SOCmay fluctuate but on-average decreases while driving

Charge-Sustaining (CS) Mode: An operating mode in which the energy storage SOCmay fluctuate but on-average is maintained at a certain level while driving

All-Electric Range (AER): After a full recharge, the total miles driven electrically(engine-off) before the engine turns on for the first time.

Electric Vehicle Miles (EVM): After a full recharge, the cumulative miles drivenelectrically (engine-off) before the vehicle reaches charge-sustaining mode.

Charge-Depleting Range (CDR): After a full recharge, the total miles driven before thevehicle reaches charge-sustaining mode.

Blended Strategy: A charge-depleting operating strategy in which the engine is used tosupplement battery/motor power.

PHEV20: A PHEV with useable energy storage equivalent to 20 miles of driving energyon a reference driving cycle. A PHEV20 can displace petroleum energy equivalent to20 miles of driving on the reference cycle with off-board electricity.

NOTE: PHEV20 does not imply that the vehicle will achieve 20 miles of AER, EVM or

CDR on the reference cycle nor any other driving cycle. Operating characteristics alsodepend on the power ratings of components, the powertrain control strategy and thenature of the driving cycle

Battery SOC Design Window

Battery cycle life is a strong

function of SOC swing:

In setting requirements, we must have realistic expectations for batterySOC design window because of the impacts on total battery size and life.

SOC design window is a key

Fuel Economy and All-Electric Range Comparison

Significant difference between rated (EPA drivecycles) and real-world median values for PHEVs

Consumers likely to observe fuel economy higher

than rated value in daily driving

Vehicles designed with all-electric range likely tooperate in a blended mode to meet driver demands

Insights:

The PHEV20s that saved the most fuel relative to an HEV travel ~25 miles with speedsunder 60 mph and light accelerations

The PHEV20s that saved the least fuel relative to the HEV in the 20-30 mile range had

periods of 60+ mph highway driving and the accelerations were significantly moreaggressive

Summary and Conclusions

PHEVs provide petroleum displacement through fuelflexibility

Design needs to consider a spectrum of stakeholder

objectives Analysis of real-world travel behavior provides

perspective on design challenges

Vehicles designed as all-electric likely to operate as blended Whats emissions impact of real-world blended operation

In-use petroleum displacement not tied to all-electric

range Consider energy equivalentall-electric range

PHEV benefit is strongly related to distance andaggressiveness of real-world usage
