Both ICE and EV vehicles require a lot of GHG emissions to produce[1][2] - in the case of an ICE car, that works out to about as much as driving it for its working life. For the EV it's more - but then driving it is associated with much less in the way of emissions, that's sort of the point. Either way, getting rid of a working ICE vehicle that's got life left in it is going to mean all the emissions that stem from its manufacture were for naught (though I'd hope it get sold to someone else who will continue to use it, not scrapped). 1: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/green-living-blog/2010/sep/23/carbon-footprint-new-car https://www.theguardian.com/environment/green-living-blog/20... 2: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/may/11/viral-image/producing-electric-cars-battery-does-not-emit-same/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/may/11/viral-imag...
