T&E study finds plug-in hybrids show higher CO2 emissions than claimed

Green Car Congress

—Julia Poliscanova, senior director for clean vehicles at T&E. Selling plug-in hybrids makes it easier for carmakers to meet their EU car CO2 standards as PHEVs are currently given additional credits. Unless you drive them softly, carbon emissions can go off the charts. Transport & Environment (2020). ?
