Squaring off, again: plug-in advocates respond to anti-PHEV report — Autoblog Green

Media_httpwwwblogcdnc_eqcal

A report comes out of a prestigious science academy claiming that the benefits of plug-in hybrid vehicles is modest. I haven't seen the paper but have a couple of unfounded thoughts and opinions of my own. First, why is there so much concerted effort to tarnish plug-in hybrids with problems etc. Second, did the paper base its conclusions on faulty reasoning. For example they may have assumed there would be slow uptake. They may be looking only at money advantages while assuming that battery prices would remain high. They may be looking only at carbon footprint as the only environmental measure, whereas there are other environmental issues to pay attention to.
