Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Attracting Attention at the Nation s Highest Level President Bush February 20, 2006 visits Johnson Controls in Milwaukee, Wisconsin discusses advanced batteries and plugin hybrid vehicles: The challenge that faces us is economic growth today carries over for tomorrow understanding how technology plays in the future of the country. in your laboratory lighter, more potent battery technology. we re got a real problem, America is addicted to oil. Using new lithium ion batteries, engineers will be able to design the next generation of hybrid vehicles, called plug-in hybrids, that can be charged through a standard electrical outlet. 2

Some Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Definitions A PHEV uses a rechargeable energy storage system to provide capabilities beyond those of conventional charge-sustaining hybrid systems A PHEV does not imply a pure electric mode, although this is one of the most fundamental attributes A PHEV neither requires nor implies the need for dual full power electric motor and combustion engine systems PHEVs are most effective in operating scenarios proportional to their onboard storage Another fundamental PHEV attribute is the direct, significant displacement of hydrocarbon fuels by grid electricity 6
