The author says that it currently costs the equivalence of $1.18 per gallon to fill up the battery of today’s plug-in hybrid cars with electrons.
The author says that by 2020, plug-in hybrids will be cost competitive with internal-combustion engine powered vehicles, without any tax-credits from the government (which will likely be phased-out by then). The author claims the electric cars of 2020 will have the capability to be instantly charged (in about the same time as an ordinary fill-up) and the cost to run them will be much cheaper than gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles (assuming the price of liquid-fuels derived from petroleum continue to climb in price over the next few years).
