TL;DR: Simulation of the performance of the PHEV throughout its battery lifetime shows that battery replacement will be neither economically incentivized nor necessary to maintain performance in PHEVs, and active management of PHEV battery degradation by the vehicle control system can improve PHEV performance and fuel consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the status of the light-duty-EV market and current projections for future adoption; insights on market opportunities beyond light duty EVs; cost and performance evolution for batteries, power electronics, and electric machines that are key components of EV success.

TL;DR: In 2011, at the beginning of the current electric vehicle (EV) market in the United States, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published a report as mentioned in this paper detailing certain aspects of the emergence of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), including the deployment of charging infrastructure, future impacts on the grid, and potential roles for electric utilities in supporting transportation electrification.

TL;DR: The Light, Fast, and Modifiable (LFM) simulator as mentioned in this paper is a light, fast, and modular power-train simulator for hybrid vehicles that can simulate a variety of hybrid vehicle platforms.
