Right now we don't have enough lithium production to get to 100% EV. Until we do, we should focus on PHEVs instead. With 1/10th the battery capacity, they can handle 90% of trips. With the batteries of one EV we can build 10 PHEVs. One EV reduces fuel consumption by 100%. Ten PHEVs reduce fuel consumption by 10 x 90% = 900%. The other benefit is that PHEVs don't have range anxiety. Why is everyone so focused on EVs over PHEVs? I currently have an HEV and plan to buy a PHEV when it needs replaced.
