I’m sure that any modern German turbo-diesel car is by far greener than any electric counterpart.
It takes 7.5-9 kilowatts of electricity to produce a gallon of diesel.
With that electricity used to drill and refine that one gallon of diesel you can drive 20-25 miles.
Not to mention the diesel it requires to deliver diesel to the service station. And the electricity required to pump the diesel from the service station tanks into your car. And the particulates you are putting into the air once you burn the diesel.
In short, modern German turbo-diesels are neither more efficient nor more Green than electric cars.
Plus you don’t get stuck in the middle of nowhere when the batteries run out. Southern California might have some of those charging stations, but in the rest of the country they’re rare.
