It mostly reads like a really bad article, disinformation actually, to me. The complaints about the greenhouse emissions during production of an electric car without considering the emission over its lifespan are less than helpful. Then the author claims that cars are "fast fashion" items and seems to not understand the difference between leasing (renting) and owning. Those 3 year old cars are not sent to the junkyard after the lease expires, which the author sort of acknowledges while still insisting that passing your usable car to someone else in order to drive a new one is a terrible thing. Then the implicit suggestion that we should keep old internal combustion cars around in hopes that someone might someday develop a practical synthetic fuel sometime in the future is just weird, even if it might have some validity simply due to the environmental cost of building a new car, but is really just unsupported opinion. It finally closes by recommending that people should simply continue driving their dirty old smoker cars unless "they do a lot of city centre motoring", but does not even mention public transit or bicycles.
