Electric Energy and Power Consumption by Light-Duty Plug-In Electric Vehicles.

This paper proposes methodologies to estimate the electric energy and power consumption by light-duty plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). Using the travel patterns of light-duty vehicles in the U.S. obtained from the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, the PEVs' energy and power consumption are estimated for two uncontrolled charging scenarios.
