The Roadmap proposes completely transforming the US light-duty vehicle fleet into one in which grid-enabled mobility (grid-enabled vehicles, GEV) is the new conventional standard. By 2030, the typical US household’s annual income would rise by $2,763 (2008 dollars). Tags: Electric (Battery) Plug-ins Policy. Oil Imports.

Since 2008, Barack Obama has consistently promoted the goal of having 1 million advanced technology vehicles on U.S. The number refers to plug-in vehicles that use grid power, stored in lithium-ion battery packs, to operate their electric traction motors. roads by 2015. Regular hybrids like the Toyota Prius don't do that.

Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC). Most of the electricity used to power these cars will be supplied from the nation’s power grid.
