I just reread your statement, and you may be right. I was looking originally
at an ICE versus full EV. Sorry for the confusion.

"A modern ICE is cleaner than the power plant used to charge the EV so net
gain for using a small efficient hybrid over a full EV at least as long as
the power plants mix remains what it is."

I am skeptical of this statement. The last time I checked, the carbon
footprint of charging was a LOT smaller than using a modern ICE. From memory
it was 1/3 or less. In addition, the "elsewhere" is a power plant, which is
a lot easier to regulate and clean up than millions of individual cars.
