You could build 3 to 5 PHEVs for every 1 EV (some EVs like the Hummer you might be able to build 10 PHEVs). So while the Hummer may do 100% EV those 10 PHEVs will each probably do 50% EV and the other 50% ICE mostly will be long highway trips that that Hummer never even takes period as they take their 2nd or 3rd car instead. Even just using average 12,000 miles a year. So 1 EV goes 12,000 electric miles, while those 5 PHEV go 30,000 ev miles at least with 5 different families. When battery supply goes higher than demand then maybe all EVs will be workable but until then we need to most effectively use the battery supply. Any EV packing over 80 kW is abusing it IMO today.
