I live in Washington State. Yes exceptional cost, 70% of electric power is clean energy.

One source for high use case

Yes most high fuel use cases are rural.

Do you know how many plug in hybrid owners don’t bother to plug in? Studies suggest fuel consumption is 42 to67% higher then EPA estimates. An app to remind owners to plug in might be helpful


Good to know hybrids have a long life.

The wild card in this discussion is battery technology, especially price. My guess is the probability of 75% cost reduction within 5 years is 50%. Just a swag based on all the lab reports.
