The real impact of PHEVs can only be realized when drivers consistently plug in their vehicles to use electricity, rather than relying on gasoline.
Encouraging fleet drivers to plug in is critical when it comes to realizing the full economic and environmental benefits of a PHEV fleet.
Incentive programs can be highly effective in motivating fleet PHEV drivers to plug in more frequently. These programs can take various forms, including financial incentives, recognition, or rewards.

U.S. regulators are warning drivers to steer clear of aftermarket decals used to embellish a car's logo on the center of its steering wheel.
Such metal or plastic emblems - which are typically adorned with rhinestones or other decorations and attached to the steering wheel with an adhesive back - can cause serious injury if ejected when the airbag deploys in a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday.
“In a crash, the force of a deploying airbag can turn the product into a projectile, resulting in serious injury or death,” the federal agency wrote in a consumer alert.
