* In the original June 2005 draft of this paper the reader would have seen an estimate that the cost of powering a hybrid with average (8.5 cents / kwh) residential electricity from the grid would be about one - quarter the cost of powering the same vehicle in its normal operating mode using $ 2 / gallon gasoline.

When one takes into consideration the different efficiencies of liquid - fueled and electric propulsion, then where the rubber meets the road the cost of powering a plug - in hybrid with average - cost residential electricity would be about 40 per cent of the cost of powering the same vehicle with today's approximately $ 2.50 / gallon gasoline, or, said another way, for the consumer to be able to buy fuel in the form of electricity at the equivalent of $ 1 / gallon gasoline.

Thus the use of average - cost electricity from the grid would equate to about half the cost of using $ 2 / gallon gasoline, not one - quarter.

Also, since the average residential electricity cost is 8.5 cents / kwh (and in many areas, off - peak nighttime cost is 2 - 4 cents / kwh) this means that, after taking account of the differential efficiencies of electric and gasoline power, much of a plug - in hybrid's travel would be on electricity that is the equivalent of $ 1 / gallon gasoline (or, off - peak, 25 - 50 cents / gallon) as contrasted with the same vehicle's use of today's approximately $ 2.50 / gallon gasoline.

... the cost of powering a plug - in hybrid with average - cost residential electricity would be about 40 per cent of the cost of powering the same vehicle with today's approximately $ 2.50 / gallon gasoline, or, said another way, for the consumer to be able to buy fuel in the form of electricity at the equivalent of $ 1 / gallon gasoline.
