PHEVs are accused of being the worst of the worst, as they supposedly use way too much fuel and nobody ever charges them. In this test I deliver proof that this is absolute BS. Even with empty battery this car uses less than 6l/100 kms on the Ecodriver-loop. This test was done with empty battery in order to evaluate the efficiency of the drivetrain irrespective of battery-size.
