If you’re concerned about cost, reliability, and cheaper emissions a NA Diesel costs under half what a turbo diesel costs.
This would eliminate the diesel costs to much to PHEV arguement
Diesel’s using sequential injection can also operate as a partially multi fuel engine.
The best example of this was a college program where diesel was used for steady driving and as a spark plug but CNG or e85 was injected late for power.
A naturally aspirated diesel dual fuel with late injection e85 for power actually generates more horsepower than a TDI in most normal applications
