Does Europe force PHEV to a gasoline deposit with only 15 liters?

The European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E) has proposed measures to address issues with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which often fail to meet their claimed low emissions and fuel consumption. T&E suggests reducing the gasoline tank capacity and increasing battery size to ensure a minimum electric range of 200 km. This aims to make PHEVs more reliant on electric power rather than gasoline. Despite being marketed as eco-friendly, studies show that PHEVs are primarily purchased for tax benefits and are often used without regular charging, leading to higher CO2 emissions than advertised. T&E's proposal includes limiting fuel tank capacity to 15 liters, which would provide a total range of around 400 km. The European Commission must now decide how to regulate PHEVs amid increasing competition from Chinese models.
