Furthermore, the batteries in a PHEV are generally smaller than those in any other electric vehicle constructed today and the battery savings in the PHEV from a pure BEV can easily make up for the cost of the small liquid-fueled engine, resulting in a lower-cost production vehicle for mass distribution. Or their UF=10% to 15%.

An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. lb), corresponding to customer fuel costs of roughly €4 (as of October 2015). The second layer, a composite winding of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP), provides for maximum strength.
