The cost of a car/house can be counted in dollars, but the construction and running of a car/house takes a toll on the environment that's harder to measure.
A Porsche Panamera S hybrid is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that can be charged by plugging the battery into the grid or a renewable power source.
The main function of the small batteries in HEVs – which recharge during braking – is to achieve better fuel economy than a conventional fuel-only vehicle.
A PHEV will not only allow hybrids to be driven further on low-emission electrical power instead of fuel, but will also turn the parked car into a battery bank for our family home.
PHEVs are not new technology but we can modifying them to support a completely unique application, that of using the car as a large mobile battery which can be integrated and used in our homes. Increasing numbers of people are looking to minimize both environmental impact and financial outlay by outfitting their homes with sustainable technology, and the resulting boom in sustainable building is driving new levels of architectural innovation.

Electric Drive
Mercedes opened a new chapter in the story of drive technology for light commercial vehicles with the first battery-electric van. Owing to its zero-emission drive it is ideally suited for use in restricted-entry areas, as it gives off no exhaust gases and is extremely quiet. A further advantage : load space and payload are not in any way reduced.

The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust (among other names) is the second electric car that Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond made in the Electric Car Challenge. It was built with the intention of making a decent electric car, not just an overpriced car that's about as attractive as a baboon's bottom. The only problem with being the best looking electric car is that it would have to be better looking than the Tesla, which most would argue it is not. The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust had no problems in the price department but was designed by Jeremy and described by Top Trumps as looking like a 'slow-moving outside lavatory'. Its predecessor was named Geoff. This time, it was armed with more batteries and a diesel generator to recharge said batteries. While the car was still slow, it was considerably faster than Geoff and in a drag race it easily beat a cyclist, a runner and a G-Wiz. The exterior was still the same, but with a sprung "push bar" in the front, for protection during crashes. Richard put on narrow tyres from a Citroën 2CV to reduce friction. The generator that James installed would often fill the car with exhaust gases. This would eventually kill one of The Stig's cousins, Janet Stig-Porter. In a wind tunnel, the car was so aerodynamically poor that it slid across the test area and we are told that it crashed into the fans at one end.
It travelled to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed 2010.
At the end of the 'testing' of the car, Stig dropped it off at the Autocar H.Q. for their view. The car was badly criticised for having bad braking, handling and the worst car design ever. It did, however, get one half-star better than the G-Wiz.

Been following this electric car’s development closely for two years (photos)...
The high speed charger is on the left, and thanks to SolarCity, it connects to the solar panels. No more gas!

Undoubtedly one of the most difficult parts of road transport to decarbonise is the coach market, which is reflected in there being just two such battery-electric models on the UK market. Both are from Yutong, with the larger of the pair being the tri-axle GTe14 as seen here.
While built in China, the GTe14 is otherwise an entirely western vehicle, with the latest examples including a Tesla-esque tablet as the dashboard binnacle. Over 600kWh of energy storage can be had, with a claimed range of over 300 miles; charging at 600kW is possible via twin CCS2 connections (and where sufficient power is available). Naturally, this all comes at a cost, but it is a clear indication that European coach manufacturers have a job-and-a-half in hand if they are to keep up over coming years.
Scottish start-up Ember is by far the biggest customer for battery-electric coaches in the UK so far. It began with the smaller TCe12 but has graduated to the GTe14, of which a large number are in service and on order.
Ember's business model is built entirely around zero-emission and, at least from what was seen here, that is delivering; this GTe14 in Dundee left with a full load bound for Edinburgh. It is SG24 UJJ.

Electric vehicles are on my mind.
The design space opens up dramatically for EVs, given the small size of the drivetrain and the various options for battery size, shape and location. I like to call it EV 2.0
It’s like a Cambrian explosion of body plans, from the 3-wheel Aptera motorcycle pod to the Tesla Sedan with weight below the wheel line.
Here, Ian Wright poses with his second Wrightspeed X1 in Monterey, with wider wheels as the car is traction limited in its acceleration. Ian spends about $1/mile for tires, the primary operating expense of the vehicle.
Here’s the video of my ride in the first X1. With the wind noise, it’s hard to hear my discussion with Ian, so here are some interesting tidbits from the drive:
• 1/3 the energy consumption of a hybrid (170 Miles Per Gallon equivalent).
• Like several early cars built by hobbyists, this is a retrofit (of an Ariel Atom)
• Everything you see is in first gear.
• The fast stops are regenerative braking (returning energy to the batteries).
• He accelerates from 0-60 MPH in under 3 seconds with the wider tires. That beats the $1.5MM McLaren F1 and Ferrari Enzo for a fraction of the cost. (Here’s a race with some other gassy supercars.)

Chinese brand Yutong has been successful in the UK with its range of single-deck battery-electric single-deckers, with reviews suggesting that they are highly reliable, energy-efficient, liked by drivers, and supported by strong back-up from dealership Pelican Bus and Coach.
The next logical step was always a double-decker, and that has materialised in the U11DD. The first to be built for the UK is seen here at Yutong's factory in China prior to shipment. It has now arrived, been repainted silver, and is about to enter demonstration service. A second example, in the same red livery as seen here, is also expected very soon. It, too, will be used as a demonstrator. Two of the type are already on order for Newport Transport, where they will join E9L, E10 and E12 single-deck models.

Five BYD ADL Enviro400EV battery-electric double-deckers are with First Leeds, where they are branded for park-and-ride route PR3 to Stourton in this rather busy livery. They are nothing if not distinctive. Here 38402 (LG21 HZW) passes through central Leeds, in true First style operating a route other than what it is branded for as it heads for Temple Green on the PR2 service. Noticeable on closer inspection is that it has rear-view cameras in place of conventional mirrors - the latest fad, and one that experience suggests still has a bit of a way to go in some cases.
