Compared with today’s NiMH batteries deployed in hybrids, the LG Chem lithium polymer batteries deliver the same power with 30% less weight, 50% less volume and 10% greater efficiency. The first is the cost of the battery pack. From a historical perspective over the past 17-18 years the cost has come down by a factor of 15x.

for rubber tire gantry cranes in ports); backup power and uninterruptible power supply (UPS); power conditioning; and renewable energy systems. Although the ultracap unit would increase the cost of the system by about $100, Hall said, there are other savings inherent in not having to run an AGM lead-acid battery over a larger voltage cycle.

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. California Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67% lower greenhouse gases than gasoline cars -- even more assuming renewables.

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.
