       When I went down the route of buying an EV 2 years ago everyone said I was out of my mind, as I had on street parking. They said why didn’t I compromise and get a plug in hybrid.I wasn’t convinced. The amount they would drive in electric mode seemed way too small. They had two lots of tech instead of just one to go wrong. I instinctively felt they were a con. And now…https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/16/plug-in-hybrids-pollute-almost-as-much-as-petrol-cars-report-finds

       ‘Data shows PHEVs emit just 19% less CO2 than petrol and diesel cars, an analysis by the non-profit advocacy group Transport and Environment found on Thursday. Under laboratory tests, they were assumed to be 75% less polluting.’So it’s another #Dieselgate for the car industry.This undermines public confidence in taking the step away from petrol and diesel vehicles. They have duped people into spending more and polluting much the same.But will there be any accountability???
