  1. #PlugInHybrids Now Outsell #Diesel in #Europe
    Europe has hit a historic milestone: plug-in #hybrids now outsell diesel #cars. With incentives rising and diesel demand collapsing, #PHEV are becoming the continent’s preferred transition technology.

  2. #PlugInHybrids: Do They Get Plugged In? Even #Carmakers Won't Say

    Without data from carmakers showing drivers plug them in, plug-in #hybrids may only be compliance #cars that do little to cut #emissions. insideevs.com/features/727919/

  3. The problem with #pluginhybrids? Their drivers.
    Plug-in hybrids are often sold as transition to EVs, but new data from #Europe shows we’re still underestimating emissions they produce.
    According to real-world driving data from European Commission, plug-in hybrids produce roughly 3.5 times the #emissions official estimates suggest. The difference is largely linked to driver habits: people tend to charge plug-in hybrids and drive them in electric mode less than expected.

  4. Q. Can #PluginHybrids really beat #FullElectric in CO2 emissions?
    A. Not in practice. Not even close.
    The new EU Commission report shows “emissions gaps” – that is, the difference between expected and real-world emissions for PHEVs – that are very high in all examined countries in Europe. Gaps fell between 176% (Finland), up to 287% (Poland). electrek.co/2024/03/25/yet-ano

  5. Everyone's talking about which #EV to buy and whether #batteryElectric are better than #pluginHybrids.

    Have you considered simply *not driving*?

    Seriously; if you need to move your body dozens of miles at 60mph every day you are going to boil the oceans one way or the other.

    If you want to use less energy you have to do less things. You can't change thermodynamics, just by buying a more expensive car.

  6. Well… #BMW was busy testing #PHEV #pluginhybrids on the #I5 in #oregon yesterday! I have some dash cam footage to offload later!
