What’s Cleaner, An Electric Truck Or Plugin Hybrid Truck? It Depends… (Part 4)
If you’ve made it this far, I probably don’t need to rehash the methods and sources again, but if you landed in this article, here’s a link to
On the other hand, many people would be perfectly happy with towing on the yellow line because their weekend trip to the lake or their favorite camping spot wouldn’t be interrupted by charging stops, or worse, not being able to get there at all. So, the PHEV could be an important selling point for people who tow for recreational reasons on the weekend.
This clean benefit helped the Lightning BEV the most. Towing 10% of the time really didn’t hurt it much because doubling minuscule emissions still was minuscule emissions for that 10% of the time. If you’re doing local towing for business and you want to tell people your business is doing right by the environment, get an electric truck and put solar on the roof. It’s truly the cleanest option.
As you can see, the hypothetical F-350 Lightning looks a lot like a Hummer EV, but its emissions after production has a pretty flat line. But, there are some serious drawbacks to this truck. It would be extremely expensive, it still wouldn’t have great towing range, and it would take up a lot of the battery supply just so the slightly more enlightened version of the Brodozer crowd could look rich like Hummer EV owners.
But, the real educational info from this chart is that yellow line, and it shows us that you can still get far better emissions than the diesel with only a 100 kWh pack like you’d get in the F-150 Lightning. The truck would still need a gas or diesel range extender, and it might be possible to press something like a V6 or 4-cylinder EcoBoost into that role, but always running at ideal RPM in a series hybrid configuration to save weight and complexity.

What's Cleaner, An Electric Truck Or Plugin Hybrid Truck? It Depends...Comparing a dirty ICE truck to an inefficient EV truck like the Hummer EV doesn't tell us that much. I wanted to do the same thing, but apply the method to comparable trucks with different drivetrains, and then put these trucks in different situations.

What's Cleaner, An Electric Truck or Plugin Hybrid Truck? It Depends... (Part 2)Because the hybrid emits so much more CO2 compared to the power plants that are making juice for the Lightning and the PHEV (most of the time), it doesn't take long for the hybrid to lose the battle for who's the cleanest.

What's Cleaner, An Electric Truck or Plugin Hybrid Truck? It Depends... (Part 3)Charging with solar really flattens the lines down for the BEV and PHEV. Solar panel production, transport, installation, removal, and recycling aren't environmentally free, but they're still very small compared to grid power.
