Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC). Similarly, the PHEV-40 with a $14,000 battery pack would cost about $18,100 more.

But the use of hydrogen has never reached its potential as a renewable fuel, mostly because its production process drives up the cost. In order for hydrogen to be a viable source of clean energy, the cost of electrolysis needs to be much lower. Right now, we can’t think of all the use cases that make an electrolyzer efficient.
