Charging Infrastructure and the Environmental Advantage of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

The environmental impact of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) depends in major ways on whether drivers use fossil fuels or electricity. Leveraging quasi-experimental variation in access to home charging stations in a sample of 836 PHEV company cars, the paper presented in this Decarbonization Seminar estimates that this technology more than quadruples electric utilization, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by 38%. Financially, home charging stations -which are fully subsidized by the company- break even after six to eight years.
