The possibility of resorting to EV batteries as a backup is another reason why I would rather bet on plug-in hybrids as a long-term option. Not only because of range-anxiety, but also to eventually resort to it instead of having to rely on a genset. Well, maybe a portable genset would still be desirable sometimes...
