Considering the amount of energy, often far from "clean", being used to power some expensive, heavy and unaerodynamic all-electric SUV, eventually some smaller and more reasonably-minded car running on ethanol might effectively have a lower carbon footprint. Even corn-based ethanol makes some sense, as it's a byproduct of high-protein concentrates used for cattle feeding. Not to mention nobody complained about the corn ethanol brewing being "inefficient" when it comes to some alcoholic beverages
