KCFC and Bob Hook Chevrolet Team to Educate about Electric Volt
Bob Hook Chevrolet, Louisville has made a 2012 Chevy Volt
available to the KCFC for 5,000 miles. This 'moving classroom'
will enable schools, the general public and fleets to see the
vehicle and understand its efficiency as a plug-in electric
vehicle with a gasoline engine as back up.

Electric Vehicles Can
Be Less Expensive Than Conventional Vehicles
An April 2012 Pike Research
report finds that the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a
plug-in electric vehicle can be lower than a conventional
vehicle, assuming a $7,500 federal tax credit is claimed and
the vehicle reaches 120,000 miles over its lifetime. Small
battery electric (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)
have a lower TCO than comparable small gasoline vehicles.
Mid-size plug-In hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), diesel,
and CNG vehicles all have lower TCOs than a comparable
mid-sized gasoline powered vehicle.

Kentucky Electric
Vehicles Emit Less Pollutants and Are Cheaper to Run Than
Many Gasoline Powered Vehicles
An April 2012 report from the
Union of Concerned Scientists finds that, in most areas of
the country, gasoline powered vehicles achieving under 30
mpg produce more greenhouse gasses (GHG) per mile than a
plug-in electric vehicle (PHEV). Driving a vehicle charged
from Kentucky’s coal powered electric grid is comparable in
GHG emissions to driving a gasoline hybrid vehicle that
achieves 41+ mpg, a big improvement over the average mpg
achieved by most conventional vehicles.
In addition, the report finds that charging an electric
vehicle saves thousands of dollars in fuel costs over the
life of the vehicle, with increased savings in areas with
low electricity rates and negotiated EV charging rates.
