Innovative mobility that is sustainable, scalable, and equitable
EVs alone can’t solve vehicle emissions fast enough. Our Retrofit Plug-in Hybrid Systems are the missing link
The Narwhal and Humpback pay for themselves in as little as two years. Lifetime savings can reach tens of thousands of dollars.
Our Challenge
Vehicles are the greatest end-use contributor of greenhouse gasses. Unfortunately, the number of conventional cars on the road is still climbing and will only go down by 17% by 2050.
Scrapping working vehicles is not the solution. Turning them into plug-in hybrids is a better way.
The EV Shortfall
The global stock of vehicles is so big and growing so fast, that even if we phase out new conventional cars immediately, we’ll consume over 300% of our carbon budget.
To hit a 1.5C carbon budget, we must replace conventional car production with EVs by 2027. Then we have a choice: double vehicle production, or make Retrofit Hybrid Systems
The automotive industry would need to double in size to produce enough EVs. Incorporating RHSs into the strategy saves trillions.
PRODUCTION COST ($BILLIONS)
EVs need large batteries and predicted production falls well short of the mark. An RHS uses a battery 75% smaller than a typical small EV.
REQUIRED BATTERY PRODUCTION INCREASE
It takes years of driving to negate the emissions from scrapping a car and making a new EV. RHSs embody a fraction of that carbon.
EMBODIED C (MONTHS TO BREAK EVEN)
EVs need lots of public chargers to proliferate. RHSs can charge from a standard outlet keep the engine for occasional use.
ADDITIONAL CHARGERS REQUIRED
Any policy that drives rapid-enough EV adoption would render existing cars almost worthless. RHSs will restore the value of those cars.
WEALTH DESTROYED ($BILLIONS)
