The control strategy and cost analysis for series Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle

This paper introduced the character and focused control strategy for Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. According to all electric range control strategy, a model of series Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle was built, which was used for simulation and study. The energy consumption and cost were compared to tradition series hybrid electric vehicle. The result indicated that purchase cost and fuel dependence of vehicle can be reduced mostly for Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
