Plug-in hybrids registered in Europe in 2024 emitted roughly six times their official CO₂ figures in real-world driving, up from five times the year before, according to Transport & Environment. The group says the growing gap costs drivers about €680 a year in extra fuel and is calling for tax incentives to be limited to PHEVs with better fuel monitoring.
Why now: New data shows the gap between official and real-world plug-in hybrid emissions is widening, renewing debate over green incentives.
