Fraunhofer ISI/ICCT analysis of PHEV data finds real-world CO2 emissions 2-4x higher than official values

Green Car Congress

The real-world share of electric driving for PHEVs, on average, is about half the share considered in the type-approval values. There are noteworthy differences between the markets analyzed, with the highest real-world UF found for Norway at 53% for private vehicles and the United States at 54% for private vehicles.

EEA: average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans in Europe increased again in 2019

Green Car Congress

The market penetration of electric cars remained slow in 2019. Several factors affected this emission increase, including an increase in the average mass and only a limited increase of the share of electric vans (BEV sand PHEV) from 0.8% g CO 2 /km) are now very close to those of gasoline cars (127.6 g CO 2 /km—0.5

EEA: average CO2 emissions from new cars and new vans in Europe increased in 2018

Green Car Congress

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.

Study finds PHEVs will reduce net emissions of CO2 and NOx; upward pressure on SO2

Green Car Congress

Net emissions resulting from the use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) depend on the efficiency of the conventional vehicle fleet; PHEV CD (all-electric, charge-depleting mode) efficiency; charging strategy; battery pack capacity; driving patterns; and generator mix used for charging.
