一项研究发现，英国销量排名前20的插电式混合动力汽车（PHEV）中，有四分之三无法使用快速充电桩。人们担心，许多此类车辆本质上只是“拖着沉重电池的汽油车”。
Three-quarters of the 20 top-selling plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the UK cannot use rapid chargers, research has found, amid concerns that many are essentially “petrol cars pulling round a heavy battery”.
这些车辆既可以使用电池供电，也可以使用内燃机驱动。与纯电动汽车不同，汽车制造商一直将其宣传为一种既能减少排放，又能实现长距离行驶的解决方案。
The cars, which can run on electric batteries as well as combustion engines, have been promoted by carmakers as a way to cover long distances in a single drive – unlike fully electric cars – while still reducing emissions.
然而，根据行业机构ChargeUK的分析，在销量排名前20的车型（包括Jaecoo 7、福特翼虎和现代途胜等）中，仅有26%的车辆能够使用功率在50kW及以上的快速充电桩。
But only 26% of the vehicles sold across the top 20 models, which include the Jaecoo 7, the Ford Kuga and Hyundai Tucson, are able to use rapid chargers with powers of 50kW or more, according to analysis by the industry body, ChargeUK.
这些充电桩可以在高速公路服务区等地为汽车电池快速补能，在20到30分钟内增加可观的续航里程。无法使用快充的车辆只能以慢得多的速度充电，这意味着想要在旅途中充电的驾驶员可能面临数小时的等待。混合动力车主可能会因此选择完全依赖汽油发动机。
These chargers can quickly top up a car battery – for example at a motorway service station – adding a significant amount of range in 20 to 30 minutes. Cars that cannot use them are limited to much slower charging speeds, meaning drivers wanting to recharge mid-trip may face a wait of several hours. Hybrid owners may instead choose to rely on their petrol engines.
ChargeUK首席执行官肖恩·布伦南（Shane Brennan）表示：“一辆从不充电的插电式混合动力汽车，就是一辆拖着沉重电池、价格昂贵的汽油车。无法在公共充电网络快速充电的PHEV驾驶员，很快就会养成依赖汽油的习惯。”
Shane Brennan, the chief executive of ChargeUK, said: “A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that is never plugged in is a costly petrol car pulling round a heavy battery. PHEV drivers unable to charge on the public charging network quickly fall into patterns of being petrol reliant.
“政府绝不能被误导，认为提高PHEV销量是迈向电气化的重要一步。被所谓的‘PHEV折中方案’所诱惑，简直是自毁前程。”多项研究反复发现，PHEV排放的温室气体远高于官方数据。尽管如此，政府去年仍允许制造商将更多此类车型计入其电动汽车销售目标。
“Government must not be hoodwinked into promoting the idea that boosting PHEV sales is a meaningful step towards electrification. It is a spectacular own goal to be seduced by a mythical ‘PHEV compromise’.” Repeated studies have found PHEVs pump out significantly more planet-heating pollution than official figures show. Despite this, the government last year allowed manufacturers to sell more of them towards their EV targets.
官方数据显示，PHEV是去年英国销量增长最快的车型，销量达到22.7万辆，较2024年增长了近35%。今年迄今为止，又已售出18万辆。
PHEVs were the fastest-growing type of car sold in the UK last year, with 227,000ed – up almost 35% on 2024 – according to official data. A further 180,000 have been sold so far this year.
销量排名前20的车型中还包括比亚迪 Seal、MG HS和宝马3系，但这些车型都无法使用快速充电桩（即功率为50千瓦及以上的充电桩）。
The top 20 models sold also include the BYD Seal, the MG HS and the BMW 3 Series, none of which can use rapid chargers.
在最近关于零排放车辆政策的咨询中，政府指出：混合动力汽车（PHEVs）实际使用电力的频率远低于官方数据所显示的频率。报告指出，用于计算减排量的方法“严重高估了电动汽车的环保效果”——因为在现实生活中，许多车主很少为车辆充电，导致实际二氧化碳排放量高于官方数据。
In a recent consultation on the zero emission vehicle mandate, the government said PHEVs were driven on electric power far less than official figures suggested. The report said the method used to calculate emissions savings “significantly overestimates electric driving, as in real life many drivers charge infrequently, meaning real world CO2 emissions are higher than official figures”.
预计在10月份相关政策修订的咨询结束后，政府对纯电动汽车（EV）销售的目标将进一步放宽；此前汽车行业曾大力游说政府改变这一政策。上周，日产表示如果英国政府不放宽相关法规，该公司可能会暂停对位于桑德兰的工厂的投资（该投资额为1.7亿英镑）。
However, it is expected to weaken targets for pure EV sales even further when a consultation on changing the mandate closes in October, after a period of intense lobbying from the car industry. Last week, Nissan suggested it could withhold a £170m investment in its factory in Sunderland if the UK does not weaken the rules.
在销量排名前20的车型中，没有一款能够使用超快速充电桩（功率超过150千瓦的充电桩）。根据政府数据，快速充电桩和超快速充电桩约占英国公共充电桩总数的四分之一，但由于充电速度更快，它们实际上承担了整个充电网络90%的充电任务。
None of the top 20 models can use ultra-rapid chargers, the fastest tier on the network, capable of adding significant range in a matter of minutes. Rapid charging is defined as 50kW and above and ultra-rapid as from 150kW. Rapid and ultra-rapid chargers make up about a quarter of the UK’s public charging points, according to government figures, but deliver the majority of the network’s total charging capacity because they are so much faster.
相比之下，去年销量排名前20的纯电动汽车全部能够使用快速充电桩，其中64%的车型还能使用超快速充电桩。
By contrast, every one of the top 20 models of pure electric vehicles sold last year could use rapid chargers, and 64% could use ultra-rapid ones.
此前，汽车制造商在上个月纷纷降低了内燃机汽车（包括混合动力汽车）的售价；同时，随着纯电动汽车销售目标的临近，它们也降低了纯电动汽车的售价。据Autotrader平台数据显示，9月份平台上在售汽油车的平均折扣幅度从8月份的11.3%急剧上升至11.9%，而纯电动汽车的折扣幅度则从11.1%降至10.7%。Autotrader表示，这一变化主要是由于梅赛德斯-奔驰和MG等车企在接近年度零排放目标时减少了促销力度。
It comes after carmakers raised discounts on combustion engine cars last month, including hybrids, and weakened them on electric, as they neared their annual EV sales targets. Autotrader said average discounts for petrol cars listed on its platform jumped sharply to 11.9% in September from 11.3% in August. Meanwhile EV discounts fell to 10.7% from 11.1%, which the group said was mainly down to companies such as Mercedes-Benz and MG “scaling back their incentives as they close in on their required ZEV mandate levels for the year”.
一位政府发言人表示，政府正采取务实的方法，允许驾驶员选择插电式混合动力汽车，并补充说，这些车辆在实际使用中的碳排放量仍比普通汽油或柴油车低40%。
A government spokesperson said it was taking a practical approach by letting drivers choose plug-in hybrids, adding that the vehicles’ real-word carbon emissions were still 40% lower than the average petrol or diesel car.
