A new report challenges the environmental benefits of plug-in hybrids, revealing their carbon dioxide emissions are nearly as high as those from conventional petrol and diesel vehicles. The findings suggest that despite their ability to run on electricity, these vehicles may not offer significant long-term reductions in greenhouse gases under typical driving conditions. Experts warn that the reliance on fossil fuels for longer journeys could undermine their green credentials. The study raises questions about whether plug-in hybrids truly deliver on sustainability promises.
