Plug-in hybrid cars are more polluting than expected according to study

Plug-in hybrid cars emit up to five times more CO2 under real driving conditions than calculated by the European Union, according to a study. The research reveals a significant discrepancy between official emission values and the real performance of these vehicles. The study indicates that plug-in hybrid technology, often presented as a more sustainable alternative, does not meet the promised environmental expectations. This discovery raises questions about the reliability of the measurement methods used by the EU to certify the emissions of these cars.
