We Must Prepare To Fight The Next PHEV Scam
- •Automakers are reportedly leveraging PHEVs, particularly in trucks and SUVs, to meet fleet fuel economy standards, with the article labeling this as a potential 'scam' due to low real-world MPG figures.
- •This narrative suggests a risk of future policy shifts or stricter regulations on how PHEVs are classified and incentivized, potentially accelerating the industry's pivot towards full battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
- •For developers and large power consumers, a faster transition to BEVs implies increased electricity demand for transportation, necessitating greater investment in grid infrastructure, charging networks, and reliable power generation.
