PHEVs are popular mainly because the EU predicted owners would be using them on electric 80% of the time so they have ludicrously low rated emissions and tax bands etc.
Telemetry says it’s more like 20%. So owners get most of the the tax benefits of owning an EV, manufacturers get better looking emissions stats, but no one changes any habits or emits any less.
