Plug in hybrids described as “one of the biggest cons in automotive history” because they pollute 8 times more than claimed and nearly as much as petrol and diesel cars.

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.

    How on earth do they come up with that. My PHEV is powered by renewable energy and I use gas for less then 20% of the miles. When using gas I have great mpg so I am using only 60% of the average vehicle. Do the math. The FUD about EVs is so thick.
