All-electric cars have outsold plug-in hybrids for several years, and by the end of 2019, the shift towards battery electric cars continued. The global ratio between all-electrics (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) went from 56:44 in 2012, to 60:40 in 2015, increased to 66:34 in 2017, and rose to 69:31 in 2018, and reached 74:26 in 2019.
Non-plug-in hybrids, with battery packs averaging just over 1 kilowatt-hour, may tap into only 50 percent of that power to handle the magnitude of cycles required by these vehicles as those ...
