Yes and no. We could for instance discuss the efficiency of my Insight vs someone's pure electric SUV - and I do mean that as a serious question. I'd argue that making an efficient gasoline-powered vehicle by doing weight & drag reduction and normal hybridization might well produce a more efficient (measured in energy and CO2 per mile) vehicle than converting a heavy, inefficient larger car.
