The cost of batteries for electric cars is decreasing, but still affects their prices. Different types of electric cars have different optimal battery costs. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) may need battery replacements sooner than battery electric vehicles (BEVs). BEV batteries last longer than PHEV batteries, especially for urban driving. BEV batteries are used at about half the rate of PHEV batteries.
