Fewer than one-third of the roughly 1 million plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Germany were plugged in regularly; the majority were charged only occasionally or not at all

Only 0.8% of Porsche PHEV drivers used electricity for driving energy, averaging 7 kWh over two years — effectively charging the battery to under 50% capacity just once. Toyota PHEV drivers were highest at about 42.8%
• Porsche: 0.8%
• VW: 24.7%
• Volvo: 26.5%
• Audi: 26.5%
• BMW: 27.0%
• Hyundai: 27.5%
• Mercedes: 27.7%
• Jeep: 27.7%
• Kia: 34.8%
• Ford: 36.7%
• Toyota: 42.8%
Previous studies found PHEVs produce roughly 3.5 times more emissions than official ratings indicate; this study explains why by measuring how much electricity vehicles actually obtained from charging.
PHEVs can operate in mixed mode using both gas and electricity, and the analysis used onboard data to separate the two
The results are based on real-world data collected by the Fraunhofer Institute from vehicles’ onboard computers
haha that gif nails it - like, why even plug in if you're just gonna treat it like a regular car? total facepalm
