The report highlights battery cost in 2010 leading to a $18,000 premium for some initial PHEVs, and suggests no lower cost is unlikely to be achieved with economies of scale. Dubious presumptions about PHEV usage lead the authors to minimize any potential petroleum and emissions reductions. In fact it doesn't take a miracle.

The two studies—EPRI-NRDC and ANL—serve as “ excellent bookends ” for comparing minimal and maximal electrification of passenger transportation, the researchers concluded. These cases span 5 levels of electrification, 3 levels of demand growth, 3 rates of technology advancement, and 3 levels of economy-wide carbon intensity.

Standards under development in these areas include: J1711: Emissions and Fuel Economy Testing. Such procedures will be used during exhaust emissions tests and fuel economy certification tests, and may be used for future “charge economy” certification tests. Estimated completion for J1711 is summer 2009. J1772: Charging.

In December 2010, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) revised its methodology and cost figures for technologies within specific applications. Economies of scale for such components will rely on the number of installations, not the size of the project. Thus, the ancillary services forecasts are based on a value of power ($/kW).
