carbon fuel vehicles will be needed to continue to decarbonize LDVs and reduce oil use out to 2050 and beyond. The paper estimates PEVs to have a total incremental cost close to $500 billion between 2015?2025. For a PEV subsidy of $500 billion from 2015?2025, However after 2030, strong growth in PEVs and other very low?carbon

Veteran automakers, oil companies, and federal and state governments have been both the prime movers and obstacles to plug-in cars in the past and they remain so today. President Obama has stated a commitment to 1 million plug-in cars by 2015. The open question is what forces will drive the process and therefore at what pace.

Most recently, Toyota announced that its fuel cell sedan would also be available in the UK, USA, Germany and Denmark during the summer of 2015. This is not much different from diesel and gasoline which are produced from refining and cleaning crude oil (a process which heavily involves the use of hydrogen).
