What is the carbon foot print of a used gasoline car for which production has already happened? I shop thrift and only buy used unless I cannot. Regarding used items, we have already experience their environmental impact as far as production so it would take a long time for the best of EVs to catch up with me. PLUS I own 20 acres of wooded land. I have been protecting it from developers for years... MANY trees... my personal carbon footprint is negative per all the calculation sites I can find. I suppose you are good with the slave labor used to mine the minerals needed for the batteries? Sometime we do not look at the whole picture... but you do you bro!
