    Not to mention that the emissions it took to produce the EV still need to be offset,

    I saw an article posted on here within the last few weeks that an EV beats a new gas car on emissions by ~15k miles driven. In other words, the break even point for a normal commuter’s driving requirements is about 12-18 months.

    You’re looking at a few years of driving an ICE before you’re behind a new EV plus driving the same distance. That makes it better for the environment to replace an ice now with a BEV, because you’ll be contributing less to emissions in about 18 months or so.
