Unless you drive them softly, carbon emissions can go off the charts. Selling plug-in hybrids makes it easier for carmakers to meet their EU car CO2 standards as PHEVs are currently given additional credits. Plug-in hybrids are fake electric cars, built for lab tests and tax breaks, not real driving.

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. One avenue to combat this crisis is a rapid reduction in carbon emissions from our daily transportation, one of the leading contributors of CO 2 emissions. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.
