The idea that you can somehow hyperoptimize the results of research by explicitly saying that "these" types of science will lead to the desired outcomes while "those" types won't, is, quite frankly, ridiculous. And must be an opinion from someone who's never actually been a researcher. 🧪

"Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle emissions are three to four times higher on the road in both Europe and Australia" Generally worrying to see so much acceptance of PHEVs, which are fossil fuel cars that burn extra fossil fuels to carry around an unused battery theconversation.com/australians-...

Then there’s the difference between certified emissions and what actually happens on the road, often referred to as the “gap”. We found the gap between certified CO₂ emissions and real-world emissions is larger in Australia. In Europe the average gap for petrol and diesel cars is 15–20%, whereas in Australia it is 30–35%.

Differences in vehicle weight and size, driving style, climate, and the use of air conditioning contribute, but the outdated test protocol is a major factor.

The gap is particularly large for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle emissions are three to four times higher on the road in both Europe and Australia.

Why? Largely because certified emissions performance assumes these vehicles will drive in electric mode 75–90% of the time, while the reality is more like 25%. So in practice, these vehicles mostly drive around as high-emitting petrol or diesel cars.

Overall, we estimated the real-world CO₂ emissions of the registered on road fleets in 2021 were 143 grams per kilometre for the EU and and 204 grams per kilometre for Australia. This means the average Australian car on the road is producing 43% more greenhouse gas emissions than the average EU car.
