Although plug-ins could significantly reduce oil consumption and those associated greenhouse gas emissions, the electricity used for charging the batteries would need to be generated from lower-emission fuels such as nuclear and renewable energy rather than the fossil fuels for PHEVs to reach their full potential.

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. In fact, the PHEV is the only existing technology that acts as a vector for transitioning our society to exclusive use of renewable resources. It is much more than that.

Paramount among these is, of course, the cost. One electric transit bus costs around $750,000 , compared to $500,000 for a standard diesel transit bus. And that doesn’t include the cost of installing the necessary charging infrastructure to support electrification. Are You Ready To Drive Your City Forward?

Aiming to boost confidence in battery-powered cars by ensuring drivers can always find somewhere to plug in, grants included in the infrastructure law will help states build a charging network designed to reach highways in almost every corner of the country. Long journeys in an electric car currently require an element of planning.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. EVs have finally come of age.
