Depends which is more important to him: ECOnomy or ECOlogy.
It might appear that this website is purely dedicated to the environment, by it's title, but you'll find that there are a lot of people who come here because they're inherently frugal.
And I'm not talking in a strictly financial aspect, either. I'm talking about being wasteful.
Pushing the EV with the smallest diesel engine that can do the job properly - which he just happens to have - does not come across as remotely wasteful. He will presumably only do it when absolutely necessary. Whatever emissions he does put out will still be scant next to what the average vehicle puts out over the course of a year. It's not like he's pushing it with an over sized Cummings diesel.
And if emissions are enough of a concern to him, he can take further steps to minimize them, and/or keep his eyes out in the meantime for something that will pollute less.
