    This is a terrible arguement. It has the premise that all ice are going to be scrapped at once and we will just make a bazillion electric cars. It’s a phase out thing.

    Also quieter cars and no tailpipe emissions are fantastic.

      Well. Bought my new electric car. What am I going to do with my old gas one? Trade it in and get money? Nah. Pay to get it scrapped? I’m such a genius.

      Guys, cars don’t last forever, but when you own a car that doesn’t burn dead organisms, get ready to almost never change your oil because it doesn’t collect soot and for engines and cars to last much longer because they don’t generate grimy grease and heat and exhaust, all of which are terrible for mechanical parts.

          Small anecdote: I bought a new Cheverolet Bolt about two years ago.

          A couple of months after I bought it there was a recall on the batteries, they had to replace all of them in the car.

          They were out of stock for quite a while (I assume because of supply chain issues)

          They finally replaced them a couple of months ago.

          I choose to see that as a 2 years extension on my bettery life,lucky me!
