These different applications have widely varying requirements for energy, power, lifetime, and cost that may not be adequately addressed by one single technology. Furthermore, the current cost of EV batteries is about $650/kWh—much greater than an estimated target of $125/kWh of usable energy for widespread implementation.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. The EPRI says lithium-ion batteries are ready now.
