“I would say that electricity is a vastly superior fuel for the light vehicle fleet,” said Willett Kempton , a professor and alternative energy specialist at the University of Delaware. Finally there may be new energy storage that requires less lithium. and tap clean, renewable energy sources.

But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Studies estimate utilities might compensate car owners with $2,000-3,000 a year to "borrow" their storage capacity -- thereby helping to offset the incremental costs of plug-in hybrids. What do environmental groups think of PHEVs?
