The new strategic approaches we outline in our plan address those needs and will help transition to the energy resources of tomorrow. Integrating the right amount of new resources requires sophisticated engineering analyses and poses significant policy questions about who pays for what, the ISO notes.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze.

Given the high cost of battery production, a BEV that approaches affordability (with generous tax credits) has a driving range of about 70-100 miles on a full charge. In this regard, PHEVs may be closer than BEVs to overcoming the valley, since the current energy storage capabilities for BEVs are inadequate.
