Governments need to coordinate the expansion of EV and PHEV sales, help provide recharging infrastructure, and, along with electric utilities, ensure adequate electricity supply. Develop and implement recharging infrastructure.

In some studies it has been noted that the adequate BEV range perceived by the customer could be lower if the recharging time would be sufficiently short. For a 100 mile-range BEV requiring ≈21 kWh net , complete recharge could be accomplished within ≈60 min. can be realized at low cost, the authors suggest. kgH 2 /min.

Many of the vehicles on the road in 2030 will have been built by 2015, and these will lower the fuel economy of the on-road fleet. Therefore, battery pack costs in 2050 for a 100-mile real-world travel range are expected to drop by a factor of about 5. Making hydrogen with low GHG emissions is more costly (e.g.,

The pure electric vehicles, for reserve, must carry heavy and expensive batteries—which add expense as well as weight—and must have access to high-powered recharging stations [ 1 ]. These energy transfer systems are already everywhere in the country. PHEVs’ batteries can be used as the storage medium.
