Not really. That’s the point.
In absolutely ideal conditions and usage they clearly are but, as the links in the last couple of pages show, they’re massively underreporting real world emissions (worse for environment and less tax collected to drive infrastructure) and people often don’t charge them meaning they’re an underpowered diesel or petrol in a heavier car.
People should either keep their old vehicle or wait for more cost effective EVs. That manufacturers are allowed to use PHEVs toward their carbon credits to avoid developing cost effective EVs is a scandal.
