Excerpt:

New research has shown that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) emit just 19 per cent less CO2 per kilometre on average than petrol and diesel cars in Europe, significantly undermining the claims of carmakers.

According to a new report published by Transport & Environment (T&E), a leading European clean transport and energy advocacy group, PHEVs were shown to emit roughly the same level of emissions as conventional hybrids and combustion vehicles.

    If you think a 20% change is not noticeable, I would invite you to walk into a room that’s 100% nitrogen.

    That’s a 100% change, not a 20% change. A 20% change would reduce the oxygen by 20%, to around 16%. You’re confusing percentages with percentage points.
