Hybrid Overnight Plug-In Systems (Hops) :
The opportunity exists today for a massive shift in the energy consumption levels in the United States. Hops relies upon the application of existing technology namely the plug-in hybrid configuration. Vehicle systems that rely on fixed overnight refueling points and provide systemic service, such as buses, delivery vehicles and military bases can significantly reduce their aggregate energy consumption by implementing Hops. Today's transportation systems can attain drastically improved levels of both fuel efficiency and environmental compliance. The key shift is to recognize that in the "serial" hybrid layout will bring the highest levels of improvement. Simply stated by reversing the ratio of engine to battery. In a serial configuration the battery pack is the significant feature of the vehicle and the motors merely keeps the batteries fresh. The combination of utilizing highly efficient constant velocity motors and plug-in recharging can significantly reduce fuel consumption and shift a large portion of the demand onto the electrical grid, at night when consumption is lowest and the cost savings the greatest.
