It is better to talk about the lifetime of a car vs the lifetime of your use of a car. An new electric car has better carbon emissions than a new gas car after 13k miles. Your point of purchasing a "used car" as a better option reduces carbon emissions by removing vehicles from the system. Don't buy new cars as a Co2 mitigation strategy is unrealistic and against buying electric is just pedantic and your argument is frankly misleading.
