However, even these costs are unlikely to create a mass market for BEVs, because a battery large enough for a 300-mile real-world range would still present significant weight and volume penalties and probably could not be recharged in much less than 30 minutes. BEVs and PHEVs are likely to use lithium-ion batteries for the foreseeable future.
