Major markets like the U.S. ​Most non-plug-in full hybrids (HEVs) sold in North America use internal combustion engines engineered to meet California’s SULEV (Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle) standards. ​

@gbwilliams1956.bsky.social

Automakers achieve this by pairing Atkinson-cycle engines with fast-warmup catalytic converters and using electric assist to avoid high-emission engine load states. Globally, equivalent standards (e.g., Euro 6d/7) ensure similarly low tailpipe emissions.

Geely acquired Volvo’s EV platforms, safety tech, and global reach. Factories operate in Sweden, Belgium, China, and the US. High prices stem from Western labor costs, tariffs, and EV tech expense—raising questions about public affordability and corporate profits.

In 2026, California's new zero-emission vehicle (ZEV/EV) market share stands at 16.4%, down from 2025 due to expiring federal credits and high prices. Meanwhile, standard non-plug-in hybrids (HEVs) hit a record 22.8% share, and gas vehicles account for 56.3%. We have to do much better.

A Social Democratic Perspective on HEVs ​While HEVs offer immediate fuel efficiency gains without requiring new charging infrastructure, relying strictly on private market hybrid adoption isn't enough to solve the climate crisis.

A truly sustainable transition requires public investment in widespread clean grid infrastructure, accessible public transit, and high-standard, union-backed green manufacturing.

On the time curve, the fit puts China at 50% BEV somewhere between late 2026 and mid 2028. That's 50% systematically, not 50% in particular months. 80% extrapolates to around 2031, but coming closer.
