Some people, including a semi-loyal reader, keep hocking us to get a plug-in hybrid. As this electrek article explains, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles create much more emissions than had been previously thought – by an average of 3.5 times as much as lab testing indicates. As this Green Car Reports article explains,the reliability of electric cars and plug-in hybrids is improving, but they still remain more trouble-prone than cars without plugs--on average, EVs had 70% more problems than internal-combustion vehicles, and plug-in hybrids averaged 146% more problems than non-hybrid vehicles. And there are plenty more articles from sources all over the place to the same effect as these articles and detailing other shortcomings.
