Cost-effectiveness of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle battery capacity and charging infrastructure investment for reducing US gasoline consumption (2013, background): “For example, HEVs were not initially cost competitive with CVs, yet individuals adopted them for other reasons, including symbolism and image (Lave and MacLean, 2002; Heffner et al., 2007).”
Does the hybrid Toyota Prius lead to rebound effects? Analysis of size and number of cars previously owned by Swiss Prius buyers (2006, background): “In the U.S., the Prius sells at USD 3500 more than the Toyota Corolla, which is not paid back over a vehicle lifetime of 250,000 km at current U.S. gasoline prices ( Lave and MacLean, 2002 ).”
The lithium industry: Its recent evolution and future prospects (2005, background): “Authors such as Lave and MacLean (2002) and Carlsson and Johannson-Stenman (2003) have recently argued that electric vehicles will remain ‘socially unprofitable’ at least until 2010.”
An innovation and policy agenda for commercially competitive plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (2008, background): “…popular as sales in the US have grown by over 80% annually 5 Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed. since 2000, despite questions about the value of their fuel savings relative to the additional cost of the vehicles (see http:// www.hybridcars.com and Lave and MacLean (2002)).”
U-turn: the rise and demise of the automobile industry (2007, background): “Further improvements in the efficiency of the internal combustion technology are still feasible [18], most notably shown in the introduction of petrol-electric hybrid engines in recent years [19].”
Total cost of ownership and market share for hybrid and electric vehicles in the UK, US and Japan (2018, background): “With a larger battery and features such as regenerative braking, engine stop-start and a novel transmission system [4], hybrid and electric vehicles have a higher manufacturing cost than conventional vehicles [5].”
