Engage Phev 10

The document summarizes research conducted by the Institute for Sustainable Futures and Faculty of Engineering & Information Technology at UTS on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The researchers converted three Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicles to PHEVs, representing the first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) PHEV in Australia. The research aims to investigate the potential benefits of large-scale adoption of PHEVs, which can run on renewable electricity, provide power back to the grid during peak times, and travel up to 1,000 km without refueling, combining the best of electric and hybrid vehicles.

The ISSUE THE BENEFITS


Increasing costs in the electricity industry, PHEVs can run on clean renewable electricity
and climate change concerns means that and, if fitted with an inverter, can power other
