Neck-and-neck race between PHEVs and pure electric cars

摘要

AID's exclusively compiled data reveals that in terms of sales the auto-industry's newest breed of ultra-low CO_2 emitting PHEVs (Plug-in-Hybrid-Electric-Vehicles) are catching up fast with their pure battery-powered electric car cousins like Nissan's still sector-leading LEAF. AID's forecasters now believe that in Europe PHEVs will keep their edge over today's pure electric cars, and before long - given some meaningful purchase and ownership incentives - they will dominate Europe's still tiny market for ultra-low emission cars for some time to come.
