New EU emissions rules could accelerate decline of plug-in hybrids, if Europe reclassifies how their CO2 emissions are measured
Difficult and expensive engineering solutions might bring plug-in hybrids' CO2 figures down, such as bigger batteries to extend electric-only range and smaller combustion engines to cut fuel consumption, but one estimate suggests the minimum battery size required might be 30-40kWh, pushing a plug-in very close to an EV’s battery capacity.
Green lobbyists like Transport and Environment, which has a strong influence in EU legislation, have issued several briefings against PHEVs, including one this March that alleged up to 600,000 fewer EVs were sold in Europe last year because of PHEV sales. Car makers are understood to have been surprised that the EU has chosen to hit PHEVs so hard, their expectation having been for a UF about half of that which has been proposed.
