The case, morally and even financially, for an all-electric car is becoming stronger and stronger. A lot of current and upcoming electric cars are in the 300-mile range. It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. And yet, what about recharging?

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.
