By comparison, a “mild” hybrid relies on an electric motor and tiny battery for starting and driving at low speeds. There’s no need to plug the car in to recharge – it harvests the energy from braking to store in the battery for later use. But as mild hybrids mainly use petrol for normal driving, they do not cut driving emissions significantly.
This would mean a plug-in hybrid would only reduce emissions by about a third, compared to a conventional petrol car.
