Ugh, diesels need to go, they’re an air quality nightmare. I agree with you that new cars are a bad value, they’re a rapidly depreciating asset, but that has little to do with the drivetrain. The truth is that if you give any shit about the environment or people breathing the air around you, EVs or at least a gasoline hybrid are the verified lesser evil. They’re just so much more efficient on energy consumption during operation that it easily negates their production impact. But the best thing to do is reduce car trips and car dependency entirely, because cars themselves are not sustainable and waste all our hard-earned money on inefficient infrastructure.
