The whole concept of fuel-based transport should be at question here.
Hybridization would be more efficient by far.
EVs in general (energy production + transport to plug + battery efficiency losses) are more efficient than the biofuel option (growing/fertilizing/harvesting crops -> turning into fuel-> transport/storage->burning in a vehicle)
But what's being discussed? Which crop or where it's grown? Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.
