I'm not inclined to think that the battery material is really the largest constraint to building efficient PHEV/EVs though. I'm in VA and when I was looking for a 2023/2024 Prius Prime to test drive, not a single one was in stock within hours of me. To test drive one, I'd have to drive hours into Maryland or Pennsylvania and then if I wanted it, likely have to pay way over MSRP plus bs doc fees, "upgrades" and other nonsense. I eventually said F that shit and just bought a Tesla that is 100% battery. They're easily available, in inventory, despite each one perhaps having 10 times the amount of battery than the Prius Prime. Given the ease there is to buy a Tesla, and the easy availability of Mach-E and the Kia and Hyundai EVs, I can't believe that the whole 10 PHEV = 1 EV is an equation of any importance.
