I don't think the general public cares about, or even really grasps the benefits of, lightweight vehicles. especially those that are EV diehard. so looking into other options just for the purpose of weight savings won't be high on anyone's list

yes, i agree. I assumed the discussion we centered around us gear heads. I think EV's will be a very, very large chunk of vehicles. But this eFuel experiment is being performed. And it's interesting to speculate what role these fuels might play in the future.
In the pilot phase, around 130,000 litres of eFuels will be produced as early as 2022. In two further phases, capacity will then be increased to about 55 million litres of eFuels a year by 2024, and around 550 million litres of eFuels by 2026. Porsche will be the primary customer for the green fuel. Other partners in the project are the energy firm AME and the petroleum company ENAP, from Chile, and Italian energy company Enel.
