Technical targets for the DOE plug-in vehicle program fall into four areas: battery R&D; electric drive system R&D; vehicle lightweighting; and advanced climate control technologies. Some specific goals include: Cutting battery costs from their current $500/kWh to $125/kWh. Advanced climate control auxiliary load reduction.

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop.
