I really hope this is successful because this would make a difference for climate change much quicker than transitioning to BEV cars. BEV cars are better overall, but there just isn't enough time with the rate climate change is happening. This combined with a strong push for PHEV and hybrid cars could help climate change much faster. It makes sense on many levels: * PHEV cars with 40+ miles EV range are great for those who can charge at home. It's enough to make most of the miles electric (such as commuting or getting groceries). And it's a much better use of limited lithium battery capacity. The battery in one Tesla could be used to build 10 PHEV cars. * Many people still live in places with no overnight charging such as apartments and dense urban areas. The hybrid tech (perfected by Toyota) is the right solution here. Keep working on getting the mpg even higher. * Government can really boost this by requiring X% of all gas to be carbon neutral and increasing that over time. They do this with 10% ethanol, but that was the wrong fuel. Start with 5% must be carbon neutral and increase 5% every year from there. * Carbon tax, enough to make synthetic fuel like this competitive with fossil fuels from the ground. BEV cars is a case of perfect being the enemy of good. When excluding external factors, BEV is clearly superior to ICE. But we don't have time to transition to BEV. We need to make progress on climate change now and this will get there faster.
