This isn't about you specifically. They want old cars to get scrapped so the average emissions goes down even further even quicker. They won't want your car to end up in the hands of someone who will drive it A LOT. Each EV sold is one less ICE sold. The goal is a market of lower emission used cars.
- throwaway22032 5y agoExcept my car only has about another 5-10T of CO2 in it before everything fails anyway. This makes no sense, the current set of EV's aren't built to last much longer than ICE cars do.

- aliher1911 5y agoWhen people say electric car will outlast ICE what do they mean exactly? I'm driving 10 y.o. Honda and with my usage I think rubber and plastic trims will fall apart and the body would rust much sooner than its engine or gearbox will fail. All the parts like upholstery, suspension wear as much on electric as on ICE I would think. No one replaces those parts, does it mean you'll be driving your electric car till your sit falls through the rusted floor but the engine still runs smooth?
