Taxes are effective at cutting harmful emissions from energy use, but governments could make better use of them. Tax rates were below the low-end estimate of climate costs (EUR 30/tCO 2 ) for 97% of emissions. These changes mainly result from fuel tax reforms in China, India and Mexico, the report said.

The market for pure BEVs is likely to be limited because their inherently limited driving range and long recharging times, and their high cost, make them less attractive to purchasers looking for an all-purpose vehicle. However, the flexibility and lower costs of PHEVs appear to trump this simplicity, certainly in the nearer term.
