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. But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution. You can fill it up at the gas station, and you can plug it in to any 120-volt outlet. The GREET 1.6

Electric cars, though, could “provide a significant reduction in fuel usage, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and local air pollution compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles,” according to the electric vehicle study. Significant reductions in carbon emissions, though, would require a large-scale shift to these new cars.

Climate change is being driven by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal. For example, it only costs £2.50 to fully charge a 50kWh Renault Zoe if you have an EV-specific energy tariff where electricity costs 5p per kW. With a ‘real world’ range of 195 miles, this gives you a cost per 100 miles of £1.28.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. The grid then becomes more efficient, thus reducing the cost of delivered electricity to everyone. (In One PHEV company, Efficient Drivetrains Inc.,

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history.

Once the capital costs of setting up the facility are recouped, about ten years in this case, all they have are maintenance and operational costs since the energy source is essentially free forever. There is no pollution to speak of with these plants. It’s a little bit more complex than that, but not much.
