What kind of metric is Price per kWh
That table mixes hybrids with EV's, if you talk EV and range you should limit to pure EV cars otherwise there is not much to compare or talk about, everybody knows that hybrids and ICE's have a much longer range.
Why does everyone say "Tesla Tesla Tesla".
For every Tesla there's a dozen of Nissan Leafs, Chevy Bolt, VW eGolf and BMW i3s on the road here.

PHEVs are crap that OEMs push out to paint themselves green.
The model 3 is the clear winner today on the price/range category. No contest.
PHEVs are crap that OEMs push out to paint themselves and their old ICE tech green.
PHEVs are EVs. They are serial hybrids which have the ability to run 100% electric.
I thimk it’s very appropriate to have a table that includes both since many EV buyers will be considering both types of EV. The table delineates EV versus total range after all...
I’d say that the Chevy Bolt, with it’s significantly lower price, yet respectable 238 mile range, is the winner on that metric for now.

The problem in our country is that almost 90% of the lease drivers with a hybrid never ever charge their battery thus it becomes a 100% fossil fuel powered vehicle, although with better efficiency.
I don't think any EV with a maximum range of 20-30 miles would ever been sold with the exception of those elderly/disabled transportation vehicles.

I don’t think you understand how most PHEVs work. I can and have driven my Volt for weeks without any gasoline in the tank. The ICE is there only to produce electricity if needed.
By your definition almost all battery only EVs would not qualify since almost all of them will be having their batteries charged by fossil fuel derived grid power. IOW they burn fossil fuel now as well.

kWh tells you something about the car, no?
(size of the battery)
Put in the trunk of a Model S a generator and it becomes a Plug-able Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
Put in the trunk of a Model S a generator and it becomes a Plug-able Hybrid Electric Vehicle.I wonder if Musk would ever cooperate with a third party to make that possible without some fragile hacks.
Of course not because it's a step backwards.
Why is it a step backwards?

EVs are the crap Tesla pushes out to paint themselves as greener than green. Who cares, you can't depend on an EV that you know for sure that sooner or later is going to let you stranded somewhere with a flat battery and no plug to recharge in miles around, unlike ICEs.

Meh, put it back in your pants. 5 year Model S driver here. Never been stranded, not even close. And, I've never heard of anyone being stranded other than that NYT writer that deliberately bricked a loaner model S by ignoring the car saying "plug me in soon" in multiple ways.
