    From your sited article
    Analyst have been reporting that nissan is using $9000 in their internal projections. Given the obviousness of the solution, I'm with the garner guy, PHEVs will far outsell BEVs. It is also going to go into a cyclical business so PHEVs sales will only go up if the auto industry is healthy. It will require extra capacity in 2015 to get to where the industry needs to go in 2020. With cash as cheap as it is right now, companies can afford to build excess capacity if high profits will come in late years.
