Given limited battery production capabilities and expected lithium shortages, you can save a lot more emissions by pushing people towards plug-in hybrids than pure EV. IIRC, high battery costs mean that plug-in hybrids are cheaper to manufacture too, allowing better market saturation. They are a stepping stone but a really, really good one in my view.
