I agree.  The SUV alone is the cheapest.  I meant to say if you get the EV you need both.  And from a strictly cost perspective, it only makes sense if the entire cost of the EV is covered by the gasoline savings.

 

And I don't want to start another thread re: energy transition/global warming/End-to-End CO2/Math-Physics.  

 

I've just found the EV/SUV analogy as a good way to explain the problem in an accessible way to people not as involved as you gentle readers.

 

I think we can all agree the most frustrating part of all this is that there is a lot of low-hanging fruit being ignored.  Bio to coal; coal to gas, gas to nuc etc.
