Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. Lifetime service costs are lower for a vehicle that is mainly electric. At $3 for a gallon of gas, driving a non-hybrid car costs 8-20 cents/mile (depending on MPG).

The Energy Transition Requires a Holistic Approach

Cars That Think

One of the fundamental themes of your book is that the technological learning curve that has resulted in the rapid reduction in the costs of renewable energy has been sustained for 50 to 70 years and shows no signs of slowing down. What did you find in terms of cost reductions in different types of renewable energy as a result?
