Agreed provided the person in question can afford one...
There are a lot of people out there who are still a long way away from being able to afford a BEV that will suit their requirements.
Improvements in public transport and car sharing could help to improve that situation drastically but it's still a way off.

I get your point and agree, but maybe a Discovery 3 isn't the best comparison? :)
I did a fair bit of reading up about this a few years ago. Back then it seemed pretty clear that keeping an old car on the road will always be cleaner than getting a new BEV. Has that changed in the last few years?

I completely agree that its lesser of two evils

I don't understand the argument that seems to be so prevalent; the because it doesn't 100% solve the emissions issue, it should be discarded as an option.
If anyone needs a new vehicle, there is no argument; it's cleaner to have an electric one.
Even vs. buying a used car (say a Discovery 3), the brand new BEV will deliver emissions savings (for identical mileage) in just 2-4 years.
