Like a PHEV, unfortunately for me that would increase mass and use more net energy not to mention hideous electricity costs in the UK. Fuels like petrol (E5) contain alot of concentrated energy and in my opinion is still the cheapest option. A hybrid like mine only uses a NiMH as a transducer not as an energy source. Hydrogen would be the only other vehicle I would personally consider. but there are political reasons it's not yet available, you would need to ask around why. I still have around 150-200kg yet to remove so will concentrate on that

Ethically don't worry too much, there are not many fossil fuels left 🙂
