It’s not a tupi; plug hybrids are used in real word cases with ICE much more than anticipated. In the EU, fuel consumption monitoring devices are required on new cars. They studied over 10% of all cars sold in 2021 and turns out they use way more fuel, and generate way more CO2, than anybody thought. The gap means that CO2 emissions reduction objectives from transport will be more difficult to reach. Thruth is, we need less cars, not “better” cars.

Wow I knew hybrids were not that great and WLTP is always off, but 250% off how is that even possible? There’s practically no difference between plug-in hybrids and standard cars.

Because you buy one thinking you’d charge it more often. Maybe it’s slower to charge at home than you anticipated, or maybe it’s just more convenient to go to closest gas station than charging station - also WAY faster.

It’s like when you buy a box of chocolate thinking you’d just eat few pieces

I don’t think it make sense to go to a charging station to charge a PHEV with a 30-80km range.

It’s like going to the gas station to only put 3 liters in the tank.

Yeah maybe not, unless if you can go shop or something while the car is charging
