I like electric cars, they’re not for me I personally hate modern cars looks, computerisation, screens, and lack of any discernible personality, but the more people who own EVs, the longer I will be able to keep running my ICE car.

I do realise I’m a luddite, but I see vehicles as more than just a tool for travelling from one point to another- which EVs are great for- and more of a symphony of engineering to create something that has a distinct personality, every engine drives slightly differently and I think that is much more engaging than what is possible with EVs. (I do think the fake gear changes in cars like the Ioniq 5n are a bit silly as they’re not necessary)

I don’t know actual numbers but my physics teacher said that he’d worked out that his car which had almost 400,000 miles on it had just about created the same amount of CO2 emissions in its use as it had in its creation but regardless of whether he was correct I think there’s something to be said for not constantly replacing cars and keeping existing ones running as long as possible, there’s a lot of materials that go into producing a car that are at best environmentally expensive to recycle.
