Agreed, aviation and special vehicles like firetrucks for those kinds of vehicles eFuels MIGHT be suitable, but it for sure should not be used in the day-to-day car used by everybody.

In Berlin there is a hybrid firetruck currently in use and the firefighter are really happy with it, only using the battery for about 90% of operations. Here is an English article about it (German ones are much more in depth):

It is not mentioned in that article, but the firefighters really like the silence of the firetrucks. They didn’t need to yell as much and could therefore communicate much more efficiently.
