That said, I do agree with a transition to EVs, but at this point, the thing that makes
the most sense is plug in hybrids, or even pure hybrids. Internal combustion engines
are inefficient during acceleration, and regenerative braking is obviously good. It
would be a good thing if everyone were on board with measures to reduce fossil fuel
usage, but not in a boutique fashion.

John brags about his EV, but that's small potatoes. We need widescale reduction in
energy production, and until we can transition to wind/solar/whatever, EVs still rely
mostly on fossil fuels.
