Wow this almost garbage
Wow this almost garbage article. The biggest thing that makes it PHEV or BEV is what? The BATTERIES. That should have been the first Cost item considered.

Any portable devices that have Li-Ion batteries usually last between 500-1000 cycles. At 100K miles, these vehicles will probably need new battery packs.
