The cost benefit analysis of Plug In hybrid electric vehicles includes a comparison between the lifetime of the vehicle and the ownership cost. Here the cost of ownership includes the cost of consumption of energy as well as the retail cost‚ but excludes the differences in cost of maintenance. A high cost of 5 USD per gallon of gasoline is assumed for the near term scenario. The cost of consumption of electricity is assumed to be 0.09 USD per Kilowatt-hour.[29] 7.
