As I am sure it will in this case too, eventually...

I did, but it is irrelevant, if you want an alternatively fuelled vehicle to
save the planet you are looking into the future as right now NONE of the
alternatives are completely economically (or efficiently) viable.

This being the case a push towards electricity would be the appropriate
choice as large scale centrally generated power is always going to be more
efficient than small scale production, a PowerStation is WAY more efficient
than an internal combustion engine.

A car engine typically runs with a thermal efficiency of around 20% whereas
modern PowerStation's achieve about 60%.
