If anything it seems we're just pivoting the waste and environmental impact down the supply chain.
Your car will end up like your cell phone -- in the trash after its planned obsolescence.

A lot of modern ICE cars don't last long either (other than Japanese cars) nor do people try to keep their cars for long anyways.
Also, how much gasoline will an ICE vehicle consume over its lifetime? how much resources goes into the production and transportation of gasoline? Its tons of gasoline.
Its obvious when EVs are environmentally less harmful when the power grid is supplied by less impactful resources (nuclear, hydro, solar etc.).
Regardless, cars aren't environmentally friendly no matter what. Building more walkable cities with efficient transportation is what we should be focusing on if we really care.
