This story has been getting a lot of press coverage lately.
I don't know how the study authors could have missed a major goal of the EV Project, to learn how to incent drivers to charge at night when power is cheap and infrastructure is idle. In SDG&E territory, both of the experimental EV rates under consideration are great. Results from these experiments will go into setting the new rate structure.
On the EPEV-H rate my electricity cost will be equivalent to putting $0.38 per gallon gasoline in my Prius, or putting $0.19 per gallon gasoline in an SUV.

Oil prices would have to rise from less than $100 a barrel now to between $171 and $254 to make the Volt as economical, even after factoring in thousands of dollars in government incentives.
