  • I'm not advocating buying a diesel or whatever instead. I'm saying that EVs (the thread we're in) are better and PHEV / mild hybrid are greenwashing nonsense.

    Before the next person jumps in - of course having a teleporting device to get from one place to the next would be greener than an EV or getting the non-existent train or walking backwards etc...

  • Yeah maybe but full electric isn't necessarily as helpful for the businessman who cruises motorways to client meetings all day who are currently driving a company Merc, there's still the issues of range, charging points, time to charge etc. There could be an argument mild hybrids are greenwashing nonsense but I don't believe that's true for PHEV where most journeys should be done on pure electric anyway.

  • PHEV is even less helpful for the person who travels long distances on the motorway, that’s the point.

    They’re sold as being environmentally friendly when, for that use case specifically, they’re worse for the environment than a normal euro 6 diesel.
