T&E said governments should therefore end the purchase subsidies and tax breaks for plug-in hybrids. Plug-in hybrids are fake electric cars, built for lab tests and tax breaks, not real driving. Our tests show that even in optimal conditions, with a full battery, the cars pollute more than advertised.

It’s no secret that motor vehicle emissions are one of the main sources of pollution in the state of California and one of the leading causes of climate change in the country. Californians collectively drive over a billion miles every day, releasing tons of greenhouse gases (GHG) and pollutants into the air.
