Great article. In principle PHEVs sound great. (Note to Ford: how about a real Mustang that is PHEV?) But the bigger issue is charging. One third of adults are renters, not homeowners. A renter likely doesn't have access to charging. How many houses currently have 220v charging available right now for a PHEV or EV? Blackouts in CA last year and TX this year suggests that our national infrastructure is not ready for millions of new PHEVs and EVs.
Also note that areas of the country (Pacific NW and others) are shutting down coal fired electrical plants which may lead to more blackouts in the future. It does not appear that there is a comprehensive plan to move from ICE to EV.
