In addition, the report says, research suggests that for plug-ins to be cost-effective relative to gasoline vehicles the price of batteries must come down significantly and gasoline prices must be high relative to electricity.

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance.

So, investing on a break-even or a loss leader basis for Level 2 or 3 charging stations is a good thing, because it removes some of the range anxiety that people have, which is a barrier to adoption. The anti-EV crowd is fond of saying that EVs are going to “crash the grid.” So it becomes a long time before it starts to tax the grid.

Most EVs are hampered from driving long distances by the gap between charging stations and the time it takes to recharge their batteries, which have limited range. To rid EV drivers of “range anxiety,” there will be a “seamless network” of charging stations along the nation’s highways.

A lot of current and upcoming electric cars are in the 300-mile range. It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. And that will get you to your destination with something like 25 or 30 percent of battery range remaining. So what are these ranges in real life?

What if going wireless enabled you to prolong the life of your batteries, to achieve the same range with a smaller battery pack, and to charge the same number of vehicles with fewer charging stations? I’ve yet to see a single plug-in charger company talk about their grid-to-battery efficiency. We’re somewhere in the 90 to 92% range.

With the coming solar feed-in tariff legislation moving through Sacramento that will pay us for the extra solar energy we produce and feed back into the grid. It’s a classic win/win/win.

However, because of the duty cycle used by the Postal Service, which generally amounts to only about 18-20 miles per day on a fixed route, these vehicles are being built without the range extender seen on the concept. The extended-range version will be focused on retail customers. Postal Service. Looks sharp.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. EVs have finally come of age.

It eliminates waiting in lines or out of order machinery and gives you the benefit of your vehicles full range right from your doorstep. If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen. You could sit in your vehicle while the operation takes place.
