- jtbayly 3y agoHybrids that are never plugged in are just slightly more efficient ICE cars.
- pnpnp 3y agoBut in fairness they do have the option of plugging in, which is massively more efficient than gas-only. I know not everyone will do that, but lots of people will.
- robocat 3y agoHybrids can have batteries that are simply not worth charging. I think my 2005 hybrid has a 50Wh battery and certainly no way to externally charge it. From article: The government also confirmed that under the revised plan all [sales of new] hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars would also be banned from 2035
- jtbayly 3y agoSome can plug in. I'm not sure how many, though. I thought plug-in hybrids were new in the last few years, and I thought many hybrids are still being sold that cannot plug in.
