Like many issues and discussion topics today, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have become a divisive concept within the electric vehicle industry. PHEVs use gasoline: PHEVs still have a gas engine which is “bad and evil” as they run on fossil fuels. Black and white. Good versus bad. There seem to be a few people in the middle.

Many industry analysts, including and most notably BNEF, say that the threshold for price parity with gasoline engines is around $100/kWh and they expect battery makers to hit $101/kWh in 2023. However, between federal, state, and utility incentives and savings on gas and maintenance, in many cases the cost differential is zero or very small.
