A recent Synovate study found the average additional amount customers would pay for 15-20 miles of electric range is just $1,700 – that’s far below the cost of the batteries that deliver that kind of range. In fact, Toyota is carrying out its own study in January to determine the ideal balance between all-electric range and additional cost.
