An argument for electric vehicles a lot of people miss is sovereignty You can live in the woods with no gas stockpile (or fuel supply network) and charge from a waterwheel, solar panel, woodfired steam engine, human power (dynamo), windmill, weird energy-emitting alien obelisk you found. Anything. That’s freedom.

Idk the sovereign carbon burning life could be fuel from corn moonshine or canola biodiesel.

Yeah that fair too. In that case I would point to other benefits like being able to run the vehicle indoors without carbon monoxide emissions, or how much quieter electric vehicles are. But I’m not opposed to modding existing vehicles to run on biodiesel

This was actually my favourite approach to reducing emissions back in the early 2000s. Biodiesel in either gas-efficient vehicles, or hybrids. When I heard about algae oil refining I was even more on board. It doesn’t help much with emissions though. https://www.treehugger.com/making-biodiesel-from-algae-85138
