TLDR

A recent study of nearly a million plug-in hybrid vehicles in Europe reveals that these vehicles use over 300% more fuel than the estimates provided by the European Union's WLTP testing cycle. This discrepancy highlights the need for more accurate regulations and utility factors to better reflect real-world emissions and fuel consumption.
