it seems, if reducing the impact vehicles have on the climate and planet is the main goal, the winner would probably be whichever can get it done with a smaller footprint? I haven't read much on EV tech nor was I even aware of eFuels.. but they both seem like they would have their benefits.
I wish EV lovers were as open about these conversations as people who want to keep hearing their engines roar are lol but most EV people are electric or die, unfortunately

Yeah, for some reason a lot of EV folks think that synthetic fuel is a oil conspiracy. And it's interesting how much they don't won't synthetic fuels to work, usually noting how inefficient translating the electricity to moving the car is. Yet ignoring how you can locate the production of these fuels where there's an excess of carbon free energy that otherwise couldn't be used.
I think people aren't admitting the uncertainty in how quickly the transition to more EV's will occur. It could happen quicker than we think or, it could take longer. And I'm willing to give Dodge/GM/Ford a chance to make a compelling performance EV that replaces what they currently have. If it's not, i'm NOT buying it!
