If you are trading in a driveable car, it doesn't get discarded but sold on the used cars market. In general, the alternative to buying an electric vehicle usually is buying a non-electric vehicle. So it should be evaluated on that base.

The ICE car sold second hand is probably displacing an older, more polluting car so it’s still a net win.
