Title: Equivalent Petroleum-Based Fuel Economy Calculation for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles 
Abstract: This action would establish a methodology for determining the equivalent petroleum-based fuel economy (PEF) for electric vehicles so that they could be included in a manufacturer's overall CAFE program. The methodology would be based on several factors including the energy efficiency of the vehicle, the efficiency of electric generation and transmission, the fuels used to generate electricity, and the driving patterns of electric vehicles. It would establish a method for determining the PEF of electric vehicles that are recharged from stationary sources only. Hybrid vehicles are not covered by this action.
