The ICEs traded in for EVs don't get scrapped, they get sold as used cars. It's unclear if or how much the transition to EVs will shave off their expected lifespan. It will play out over decades.
Also batteries aren't useless after 10 years. They can be used for grid storage for years after being retired from EV service.
Synthetic fuel schemes are very expensive and haven't proven to be scalable.
