Plug-in hybrids (and electric cars in general) are only as clean as the electricity used to charge their batteries. The potential here is that if the power source the driver is getting their electricity from is eco-friendly, then they're fine. For example, the French get 70+% of their electricity from nuclear power (no carbon emissions), owning a vehicle like that there would be a good thing. If someone in this country had solar panels or a wind turbine, they could use those technologies to recharge their batteries and truly be greener for it.DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.com
