Shame they don't write about people like me, which drive on pure electric all the time. ICE kicks in once per month on on longer journeys. So effectively i have +inf times lower emission.
- xiphias2 6y agoIf most of the companies emit 400% of the allocated CO2 quota and you 10% of the quota, statistically your usage can't compensate for the scam that's going on with the current incentives :(
- kissiel 6y agoYou're right. This is why not cars, but fuel - you know, like the source of the carbon - should be controlled/taxed. I also think that any car can be driven in an inefficient manner. The 1.7t PHEV I use has been amazing in terms of fuel economy, but I know people that burn more fuel in their hybrids than in V8 ICE sportcars.
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoOf the PHEVs for sale right now, there's almost none that could really be driven pure electric. Only the Volt really let you do that, and it's no longer for sale. Pretty much all of them will fire up the ICE if you hit the accelerator hard or need to go highway speeds, etc.
- kissiel 6y agoMy PHEV - mini countryman - can go up to 140km/h on pure electric. It even has an option in the car settings where driving on pure electric can be the default setting. Same goes for BMW PHEVs and Porsche ones.

- cmrdporcupine 6y agoWhat are you trying to say? Prius Prime uses the ICE quite frequently and has a tiny battery. And the Clarity will also kick it in whenever you accelerate hard.
