(I have seen many claims that they are actually worse -- though I can't say how much truth there is to these...)<br /><br />If they will never get charged, a plug-less hybrid with a small battery would actually be a lot better. But that offers no opportunity for leeching subsidies, nor to game emission standards with completely unrealistic paper savings... So there is no incentive for car makers to produce these over cheaper pure combustion models.antriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-8367985689396747902020-11-19T20:45:48.655+00:002020-11-19T20:45:48.655+00:00"But the Climber of the Month was the Renault..."But the Climber of the Month was the Renault Captur PHEV, that <b>shooted</b> 7 positions, into #8"<br /><br />It should be "shot up", "shooted" is not even a real English word.

Guess who?<br />Its a poor man by the name: Warren Buffett<br /><br />Another good news: Redesigned Toyota Sienna minivan (2.5 liter 4 cylinder full hybrid) for 2021 gets 36 MPG which is 63% more than the old version (3.5 liter 6 cylinder non-hybrid). Sienna sells around 100.000 units / year.<br /><br />Its price is around $2,820 more, but it will save double the money over 10 year period. Its ideal for those who drive more.<br /><br />Now pressure will be on Chrysler Pacifica which is sold in petrol and plugin versions and also Honda Odyssey and Kia Sedona which have only petrol.<br /><br />If all vehicles get full hybrid version, fuel consumption can be saved drastically, better for plugin hybrids. Even better for BEVs.<br />famlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-50559456200444987242020-11-19T15:24:40.028+00:002020-11-19T15:24:40.028+00:00Viva la France for setting a record 19.990 units, ...Viva la France for setting a record 19.990 units, just 10 shy of 20K.<br />Thanks to all star players Renault, Peugeot and the new star VW ID.3<br /><br />I dont think Nov will repeat Oct because of lockdown, but vaccine is on the way and coming months should be better.<br /><br />Its ok even if PHEVs surge since they run 25 - 50% on electricity and even for the distance it runs on petrol, it runs with 50% higher efficiency because of regenerative braking.
