The potential is enormous because the current grid has sufficient energy capacity to supply every vehicle in the United States if every one of them was a PHEV. On the other hand, the PHEV can use the existing electric distribution and gasoline dispensing systems with minor or no change. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.

Our 2020 study , published in Nature Climate Change , found that manufacturing a typical EV sold in the United States in 2018 emitted about 7 to 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide, compared with about 5 to 6 tonnes for a gasoline-fueled vehicle. This concentration is problematic because it can lead to volatile markets and supply disruptions.
