HYBRID electric car research - Abstract
The article reports on the three month trial made by researchers from energy management firm SP AusNet and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) in Melbourne, Victoria. The move is done to determine the efficacy of PHEV in conserving energy. Moreover, during the test, CSIRO engineers modified the automobile to carry 30 Ampere-hour (Ah) of NiMH battery which has the capacity to hold 6 kilowatt hour (kWh) charge.
