Which is better depends on how it is used, as has been mentioned. My diesel doesn't even get warm when I sometimes have to transport stuff within 5-8km of home, so an EV would be much more efficient. On the other hand, I can easily get 3.2-3.5 l/100km on a long distance trip, and no need to haul a heavy battery pack then.
