  • PHEV’s are getting reclassified/re-regulated by the EU, because:

    • The stated average emissions are based on actually plugging in to charge, which most owners don’t bother with, considering electric propulsion only accounts for like 1/15 of the cars total range

    • It has been regulated in a way that gave the manufacturer only small emissions penalty for increasing the motor size & weight of the car - because it was still considered to be electrically powered.

    • The design itself leads to a heavier car (having 2 propulsion systems)

    Meanwhile, the full EV market has been more self-regulating in the sense that they have kept the weight/energy requirements down in order be competitive on range.



    • Don’t code in a language/style that requires you to write code that makes prefixing necessary - divide and conquer instead
    • Readable code and well written unit/BDD tests is much better than separate documentation that will go out of sync the minute another Dev does some surgical incision into the code
    • Be verbose if you need to in order to convey the relevant semantics, the characters are virtually free
    • Use the casing that is mainstream/recommended by its’ developers for the language at hand
