PHEV have stopped growing in China prematurely it seems. This may be a hiccup, but it could just as well be the realisation that PHEV do not offer any real advantages to BEV. And yes, that goes for EREV as well, seeing how they are part of the blue curve.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
Sound efficient?

The media keeps pushing the lie that fossil fuels are cheaper than renewables. They’re not. CSIRO and AEMO show solar and wind are far cheaper. The fossil fuel lobby funds the lie, and half our grid’s already renewable. The transition’s happening, like it or not.
