Presentation Outline
Why does society need/want hybrid and
electric vehicles?
Current status of EVs and HEVs.
The general structure and functionality of
HEVs.
New developments and future technology
of HEVs.
Practical Concerns:
Current conventional cars use a quickly decreasing source of
fossil fuel. Although no one knows exactly how long the worlds
supply of oil will last, most agree that it isnt too far in the future
that our current supply will be used up.
In 15 years Americans will be routinely driving hybrid electric cars
performing at 80 miles per gallon. Today's internal-combustion-engineonly vehicle will become an artifact of history. - Dan Doughty
The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for the
electric motor. Unlike the gasoline in the fuel tank, which can only power
the gasoline engine, the electric motor on a hybrid car can put energy into
the batteries as well as draw energy from them.

The PNGV
The Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles was established in 1993,
with the following agenda:
PNGV goals must be achieved without sacrificing key vehicle performance,
safety, emissions, size, and economic criteria. The primary requirements for
the PNGV vehicle are as follows (in abbreviated form):
A three-fold improvement in vehicle fuel economy to 35 km/l (83 mpg).
A vehicle range of 612 km (380 miles).
Acceleration from 0-97 km/h in 12 seconds (0-60 mph in 12 seconds).
Attain a maximum speed of 137 km/h (85 mph).
Climb a 6.5% grade at 89 km/h (55 mph) for 20 minutes.
Achieve drive away power in 5 seconds and full power in 2 minutes.
Must meet FMVSS safety requirements and EPA Tier II emissions
standards.
Purchase price equivalent to today's family sedan.
