The new clean diesel is the most efficient vehicle in terms of everything including the manufacturing process.
Any ICE vehicle GIVES YOU FREEDOM to move anywhere even where there is no grid, road or a plug!

Perhaps. I recently bought a second 530e to go with my first 2020 530e. My car is urban use only because we live downtown and I have yet to run the ICE in 4 months. To all intents and purposes, it's an EV with an ICE for out of town runs. My wife commutes 3-4 days a week (pre-C 19) and occasionally had to run her ICE for about 4 miles on an interstate. She is still on her first tank of fuel. In addition, I have the elegance and road handling of the 5 sedan at all times, including Interstate trips. I have no idea how my total energy cost would compare to a diesel 5 sedan, if one could even get one in the USA. I do know that my extra electricity cost for the two sedans was running at $35/mos (billed by my condo) and fuel cost is "zero", so far.
