In addition, despite the rigorous development of renewables, carbon dioxide emissions are increasing, because the energy mix increasingly includes coal-fired power plants that emit large quantities of CO 2 to compensate for weather-related fluctuations in power generation from renewables and the closing of nuclear plants.

In the quest to improve efficiency even more, the focus tends to be on the flashier parts of the drivetrain, like the motor (which certainly deserves it) and inverter (which arguably doesn’t, since efficiency is typically already ~99 %), while scant attention is paid to relatively unsexy things like charging cables and auxiliary/parasitic loads.

But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. While other national and international organizations have been supportive at government hearings, they havent yet begun to advocate for PHEVs. Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? What do environmental groups think of PHEVs?
