They're including plugin hybrids which apparently saw a massive efficiency drop. I don't think we should consider these transitional technologies anymore now that battery vehicles have become "good enough" in most population centres. Even if you can't charge at home there is now a good network of chargers here in Toronto.
- bombcar 4y agoQuite a few non-plug-in hybrids are still being sold, and transitioning those to plug-in would be an improvement.
- hnav 4y agoNon-plug in hybrids are becoming the norm, almost everyone is going to at least a 48v mild hybrid, which is a 10-15% improvement over a normal ICE. Something like a Prius, Insight or Ioniq get 50+mpg combined. If everybody switched from godawful crossovers to hybrid econoboxes (comparable utility and price), we'd see a 30% reduction in gas usage.
