More expensive, premium PHEVs are plugged in less often and/or for shorter durations compared to more mainstream models.
The marketing of PHEVs seem like they are the best overall, but not so much for fuel consumption and emissions in the real world. Shocking.
Electrek: Biggest study yet shows plug-in hybrids use over 300% more fuel than claimed

The automaker is preparing to idle its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Mich., from the end of work Nov. 15 until Jan. 6. It's the latest downshift in plans for a once-hot product whose importance executives have likened to that of the Model T.
"The average real-world fuel consumption of #PHEVs in Europe is 4.0–4.4 L/100 km for private vehicles and 7.6–8.4 L/100 km for company cars compared to an average of 1.6–1.7 L/100 km in #WLTP type approval ... The average real-world electric driving share is about 45%–49% for private cars and about 11%–15% for company cars. ... In contrast, the official WLTP type-approval procedure assumes the share ... at around 70%–85%"
Analysis of the average real-world fuel consumption and electric driving share of PHEVs in Europe, with an emphasis on WLTP type-approved vehicle models.
