Do they just scrap the cars they trade in? Isn't that a huge waste of material or do they re-use much of it? Is the benefit from taking a car off the streets greater than the pollution caused by throwing away a large amount of plastic/metal/toxic stuff?
- lm28469 4y agoIt depends on the car, in the short/mid term the least polluting vehicle is the one you already own. But I feel like people won't trade a newish (ie less polluting car) for a e bike. They probably will trade in shitboxes which barely pass inspection, in that case it probably is a good move. That being said electric bikes aren't the greenest thing out there, I've heard people boast about being ecological because they bought an ebike to replace their regular bike, or bought an EV to replace public transport + bike, in both case it's a net negative pollution wise.
