... These cost differences would be smaller if the PHEVs TECHNOLOGY STATUS were compared to equivalent HEVs, but the fuel savings also would be smaller. Vehicle Technologies and Batteries Costs will decline with technology improvements and A variety of PHEV configurations and electric driving economies of scale, but Li-ion batteries based on similar ranges are under consideration by vehicle manufacturers.

PHEV-40s are more effective are also included at the Maximum Practical rate, gasoline than PHEV-10s, but the GHG benefits are small unless the consumption would be reduced an additional 7 percent, grid is decarbonized with renewable energy, nuclear plants, while PHEV-40s could reduce consumption by 23 percent.
