A personal theory I've been following for awhile is the pathway to EV adoption being paved by PHEV's.
PHEV's can be viewed as EV's with an emergency back up power source. It's almost a placeholder EV compromise, with a unique ability to leverage existing and developing infrastructures for it's propulsion energy.
Today's plug in hybrids are pioneering bridge vehicles paving the way to charging infrastructure, further battery development, and the cost reduction EV's need to be successful in a mass market.
Clearly there are more in-progress variables to the success of EV's, but in the interim, PHEV's couldn't be a better proving and transition vehicle.
