Well, I’ve driven over 40,000 miles in my E-85 fueled truck. When you’ve done the same in an electric vehicle, ping me so we can compare notes.

The problem is that E-85 fueled vehicles cannot replace gasoline powered vehicles. We just can't produce enough ethanol. There's literally not enough arable land in the country to do it.

Converting completely to ethanol is something that's probably not going to happen. Burning ethanol blend fuel is nothing more than putting the problem off until later.
