Technology Connections also did a video on this.

The basic conclusions I got from it in terms of efficiency:

  • Conventional hydrid cars are not all created equal, with parallel hybrids typically being more efficient than serial hybrids

  • Plug in hybrids are frequently less efficient than a well designed conventional hybrid, if they are not charged regularly by electricity

  • Both are very inefficient compared to battery electric vehicles by nature of engines being inherently inefficient

    For us, it's an infrastructure problem that wouldn't be hard to solve, if people weren't so obstinate about it. Whatever solution you come up with for enabling us to charge our PiH, I'm pretty sure we've thought about it and got shot down by the local fossils, with the usual range of "concerns": Fire, expenses, ugly charging stations, just a fad among the ignorant youth...

    Oh, and apparently a local progressive politician is bad because she's going all influencer and such. God forbid millennials do millennial things to reach millennial voters for millennial policies.
