The basic conclusions I got from it in terms of efficiency: Conventional hydrid cars are not all created equal, with parallel hybrids typically being more efficient than serial hybrids Plug in hybrids are frequently less efficient than a well designed conventional hybrid, if they are not charged regularly by electricity Both are very inefficient compared to battery electric vehicles by nature of engines being inherently inefficient
