Funny, I’m looking at the same picture and seeing something completely different. It seems to me that series hybrids with 50-100km electric range are the sweet spot: - eliminates a huge chunk of CO2 emissions (most daily commutes, local travel) - still takes advantage of the energy density and short refuel time of hydrocarbons for long distance travel - dramatic reduction in the amount of batteries that need to be produced to electrify the whole vehicle population (this might shift the curve of at least some EV-miles by decades) - no need for a massive retooling of the filling station network - series hybrids still eliminate a lot of the mechanical overhead of ICE vehicles, and all else equal (range), a series hybrid is probably a lot lighter than an EV with all batteries
