I don't know, the FUD around EVs killing the grid has met the Reality that AI is killing the grid and spiking electrical rates, all over the country.    The lessons from China is that Hybrids are not cheaper to build than EVs.

I feel that the advantage of EVs is that they offer a path towards energy independence that PHEVs don't.

Penalizing manufacturers seems a little unfair when the other 7 billion people on Earth are not directly affected by these same regulations, yet we all share the same atmosphere.  To be clear, not saying we do not need regulations, just maybe a different and simpler approach.

Hmm.  I think in countries with a higher level of Carbon free Electricity than Japan this would be False. Japan's energy mix is dirtier than the US and much dirtier than Germany or France. Japan 36% Carbon Free USA 41% Carbon Free   Germany 55% Carbon Free   France 91% Carbon Free
