Do I see future for PHEVs? Not really because adding the combustion drivetrain with its costs, maintenance and fuel use loses as battery prices go down.
But there's this too: they use massively more fuel than tests assume.

In practice this means 2-4 times more fuel pipe emissions of CO2 and NOx than currently assumed. And switching to WLTP doesn't really help either (and the ICCT agrees with me).
So if tests would be based on reality instead of the laboratory, this would be really bad for PHEVs.

And there's good news on the testing front. It seems the EU might be moving to reality based testing. Also the is more and more on road testing by institutes like @TheICCT informing policy.
