Perhaps, but then again, how can it be better than a standard ICE (other than by allowing part of the journey to have lower emissions)? If all the power comes from fossil fuel, surely this is an extra inefficiency? But it’s the implied promise of perpetual motion that bugs me.
Because you're probably not going to only be doing 200 mile trips and a PHEV let's you run on just electrics for all those <30 mile ones which are more common and also more likely through built up areas
