Larry, your main point is
Larry, your main point is certainly valid, but internal combustion engines have approached a 40% efficiency over the past decade. Don't take my word for it, the link after my comment is an EPA document on the subject. The reason many green buyers purchase a plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle is because they are good at math, not bad. They know what a 94MPGe (RAV4) or 133 MPGe (Prius Prime) rating means, and they also know that they can achieve most of their daily driving without using any gasoline. The hybrid powertrain affords them ranges and towing capability that no BEV can. Thanks for your comments.https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2020-08/documents/sae-2019-01-0249.pdf
