The battery isn't going to last forever, and to keep that car on the road beyond the death of that battery, a very expensive new (energy intensive to produce) battery will need to be installed, and the old battery (energy intensively) recycled. What does a diesel need to last a long time? Oil changes....filters.....general care. Toxic waste? 0 Expensive Batteries? 0 Rare earth materials? 0
A VW Polo diesel can get EIGHTY miles per gallon. With no fancy batteries/motors/electronics.
Heck, even a C220cdi gets in the low to mid 40's!
