A new analysis of the real-world usage of more than 100,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles shows a large deviation between on-road CO 2 emissions and fuel efficiency and the official vehicle type-approval values. The real-world share of electric driving for PHEVs, on average, is about half the share considered in the type-approval values.

The main factors contributing to the increase of new passenger cars’ emissions in 2018 include the growing share of gasoline cars in new registrations, in particular in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment. Moreover, the market penetration of zero- and low-emission vehicles, including electric cars, remained slow in 2018.

Diesel has played a major role in the European Union’s efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions from the automotive fleet; the market share of fuel-efficient new diesel cars in the European Union has remained above 50% since 2010. Furthermore, hybrid electric cars today often are cheaper than diesel cars within the same vehicle segment.

Even if all cars were to drive electrically one day, aircraft, ships, and even trucks will still run mainly on fuel. Moreover, even though electric cars will become significantly less expensive in the years ahead, the development of these fuels may be worthwhile.

Until then, we can always program the ESS to make what Lotus refers to as "more futuristic sounds for electric vehicles [that] can be created using sampled sounds and generated waveforms." This is especially important for electric and hybrid vehicles which can be difficult to hear at lower speeds due to their drive mechanism.
