The thing is , no matter how fuel efficient they are, you are just burning the stuff, finite and hard to get stuff. And there is also everything else about emissions, climate change and more that I don't really know

Technology connections has an interesting video about renewables in general.

    Yeah.

    It's a good stopgap, though. We can't all get EVs immedately, but we could get more on the road quickly with this approach.

    True , but where I live is almost nonsense buying anything else on the same price point, and even "basic" combustion cars are at almost the same price, some of the hybrids are even more expensive.

    If you are buying cheaper than "entry EV's" you are buying used, otherwise the EV wins , unless you personally have some situation where EV is not viable.

    Just a crazy market, you have the old brands selling a overall worse combustion car and asking the same as the cheapest EV's , without even mentioning the average combustion cars that are actually more expensive than the "entry " offerings on EV's
