This reduces the cost of purchasing and maintaining an EV significantly. For example, California and many other states in the United States have stringent emission standards, which have driven automakers to produce more EVs to meet the state’s regulations.

Once the capital costs of setting up the facility are recouped, about ten years in this case, all they have are maintenance and operational costs since the energy source is essentially free forever. There is no pollution to speak of with these plants. It’s a little bit more complex than that, but not much.

Reducing carbon omissions and pollution from the transportation sector are clearly important to the health of the planet and humans. In higher EV-adopting areas of the US such as many parts of California, there tends to be an adequate number of EV charging stations – especially if you drive a Tesla.

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution. This means the more maintenance-free electrical systems of PHEVs offset the initial higher cost of batteries.
