Analysis by Lux Research suggests that the market space represented by the emerging lower-cost, 200-mile-range EV will be the biggest coming growth opportunity in electric storage for transportation. While selling in similar volumes, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) used three times less batteries: about $0.7 billion worth of energy storage.
