Problem with ethanol is that it's endothermic, taking more energy to produce per unit volume than it provides. At least corn based ethanol here in the US is. Brazil figured it out with sugar cane and their processes and I believe they're at a point where it's a net positive energy content proposition, but not here.To me I absolutely disdain BEVs. Every vehicle should be a Hybrid/Flex Fuel Vehicle. ICE Engines are awfully clean, but they are already set to run on Methanol or Ethanol or any combo of the two and or gasoline. But the best part of Methanol is it is made from carbon capture technology. So you are actully carbon negative in a regular ICE vehicle running Methanol. We could be off fossil fuels at month end. But we lack the courage. Elon showed EV's can be fun, and fast as hell for the money. I mean you need a million dollars to beat the Plaid S in the Quarter. That's you're template. Now ditch the "Frunk!" and put in a high revving I6 in there and you bring back the passion of the engine noise, you end the range debate and fears, you never plug it in and every mile you drive sequestures carbon. By jacking with BEVs you are hurting the situation not helping.
