5) It doesn't rust
Plastic or fibreglass or something? What's the end of life plan for those? When my car gets scrapped the rusty bits will presumably be melted down into something new but the plastic bits might be landfilled?
(Not judging, just wondering. I didn't know my car had some plastic body panels until I tried to attach a magnetic GB plate.)

There was a study years back that put the Jeep Wrangler as the least polluting car over its lifetime because the R&D pollution was 80 years ago, they’re made of steel and iron which can be recycled easily and they go on for hundreds of thousands of miles because they’re so simple and robust.
Obviously this doesn’t help the people who breathe in the fumes from the 4.0 litre six.

My hybrid works pretty fucking well for me.
1) It's absolutely tiny
2) It only seats 2 because that's all I need to carry
3) It does a minimum of around 60mpg around town and well in excess of 80mpg on a run
4) Until recently it was officially the most fuel-efficient production car (and it probably still is because the article above is correct). Mine actually does mpg way in excess of what the manufacturer claimed it would
5) It doesn't rust
6) Lifetime emissions (on a cradle to grave LCA) are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than current EVs are. On paper, the only EVs that come out better are the older small EVs like the Leaf and Zoe
