it would be amazing if more people realized that keeping the car you have is still the most environmentally friendly solution.

I'm going to keep my ICE car until it is unreasonably old or impractical for me, which is probably at least 8 more years.

At that point who knows what the electric car landscape will look like, but certainly production will be massively more ramped up. PHEVs will be the perfect car for most people. It will do 99.9% of people's trips on pure electric, and not have any compromises on long road trips either.

In fairness, the people I know doing this want a new car. They are not trying to do the most environmentally friendly thing.

But I believe in old ICE as opposed to new EV, on environmental, economic and other grounds.
