Abstract The reduction of vehicle fuel consumption is one of the most important targets for the automotive industry. Plug-in electric vehicles (PHEVs) are considered a viable alternative to improve the vehicle performance and efficiency. This study presents a prototype of a hybridization kit to convert a conventional vehicle into a PHEV that results in an expressive reduction of fuel consumption. Due to this, an interactive adaptive-weight genetic algorithm optimization was applied to find out optimum configurations for the hybridization kit in order to minimize the overall cost to perform FTP-75 and US06 driving cycles and to improve performance.
