Polestar says plug-in hybrids are “fast becoming irrelevant”.
Problem is: the facts say otherwise.
In this report, I break down Polestar Australia’s attack on PHEVs, the fake-news-style media delivery around it, and the bigger lie at the centre of the EV sales pitch in Australia: so-called “zero emissions”. On the current Australian grid, that claim does not survive contact with reality.
We look at:
Polestar’s claims about PHEVs
why EVs in Australia are not truly “zero emissions”
the ACCC’s warning on misleading environmental claims
why a Polestar 3 on public charging can stack up badly against a Toyota Kluger Hybrid on cost and emissions
and why PHEVs are clearly not “irrelevant” in the Australian market
If you’re sick of car-company spin, fake-green marketing, and advertorial dressed up as journalism, this one’s for you.
