We love VW Beetles, as we love 1970s new wave bands.

As you can see from this simple calculation for similar size and duty vehicles, currently an EV is not far cheaper to operate than a HEV. Yes, EVs are constantly improving, but so are HEVs.

A calculation I did a couple of years ago comparing EV to HEV for emissions. Not a lot has changed since, swings and merry-go-rounds. I have not ventured to the energy chain from the resource in the ground as to lack of data, but logic can be fairly applied to that.

I'm an engineer since 1985.
The calculation below is a couple of years old.
HEVs have improved energy efficiency since then, and another LARGE improvement is coming from Toyota soon.
EVs haven't made any noticeable advancements in energy efficiency since then as has not transition to clean energy.

Barney wants us to be screwed by a failed nation that elected a criminal as leader, uses extortion on friends, denies science - until they offer us a way out, which is to join Team USA. It may be what you and your mate wants, but not the democratic majority of Australia.
