Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

But that's not how the car industry works. That "newish" car isn't scrapped, it is sold to someone whose car died or wanted a newer used car. And then sold to someone with a worse or dead car. Very few "good" cars are being scrapped for EVs. Most cars being taken out of circulation are extremely old or totaled in an accident...
It is how it works but it shouldn't if we want to be green, instead of appearing green.
