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.

Yeah that's what I'm saying too. They should be using mild hybrid because they aren't going to bother plugging them in. Full electric isn't necessarily the most practical for the business motorway cruiser, especially the ones you can't even get to plug in a PHEV.

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.
