I would expect EU utilization of PHEVs in electric mode would be less for one big reason: Fewer people in the EU own their homes versus the US, so cheap home charging must be much less common there. PHEVs give you the choice of gas or electricity, and if the electricity price is high because of jacked up public charger rates, then they will fill up with gas more often. In 111k miles I've never charged at a public charger, at home electric prices are still about a third of gas and I am on electric 95% of the time. OTOH, so many people are totally clueless about how much different things cost maybe this is just a figment of my imagination?
