I was thinking about the real life cycle. A maintainable car can live up to 30 years and longer. They are shipped to third world countries where they are repaired extensively. But that isn't possible with new cars that put DRM in their components so third parties cannot supply parts. The economics of repairs change and that causes a massive increase in emissions since a lot more cars must be build in the first place and they must be replaced more often.
Most EV aren't that old yet, so data beyond the leasing lifetime isn't to readily available.
