US policymakers are rolling out big incentives for electric vehicle buyers who surrender a gas-powered model, advancing efforts to cancel carbon emissions.
This is only true in the short term. A new EV will emit fewer total lifecycle emissions, including those produced during manufacturing, after just 20-30k miles on the road. Thats 2-3 years for the average American driver. After that, that old clunker continues to emit more than an EV that would replace it.
