Like ~15 years ago I heard peter singer saying that the emissions from the lifetime use of a car were lower than those from making it, so you should only ever buy a second hand car.
That was before widespread EVs though.
I often wonder how long you have to use a 2nd hand gas car for, before the emissions outstrip those of making a brand new EV.
I got a 2019 used nissan leaf in 2020 (the lessee didn’t like it), but it looked new. My coworkers tripped over themselves to tell me that the production of a vehicle is worse for the planet anyway. Then, when I explained that it was used, they all responded that the electricity was probably dirty anyway. I charged it at the company garage or at my town’s public spots, both of which were solar powered.
You always get FUD about EVs from people who don't like the idea that they might be responsible for unnecessarily harming the planet and their neighbours through their actions and would far rather believe that you're just as bad as them. It's BoTh sIdES but for polluters.

In a car I am in constant conflict, constant in risk.
In a plane I am but a commodity, worth only my payment.
In a bus we are a union, to endure together, and one another.
In a train we are a tribe, fortified in goals, interests, as philosophers of old.

I am even more ~~hostile to capitalism~~ sustainable, I use a bike.
But I have to be together with people!
I'd rather drive my bike to work.

Given the price of electric cars, I'm expecting the electric vehicle for the masses will have two wheels.
