the environmental cost of producing a new car is massively fucked
This is the bit I don't quite get - how does one find out whether keeping their/an older car on the road and reducing demand for new cars is more or less beneficial than buying a new hybrid?
I drive a 2006 transporter at the mo and while I've no plans or ability to change it to something cleaner I often get stuck in this dilemma
I bought the (admittedly big and dirty) e46 for £2600. I can happily service it myself, parts are available, and I don’t have to worry too much about resale value. At the moment, I very much doubt I could afford an EV or hybrid. But maybe we’ll be better off by the time we need to replace it.
