Every time we change an old, working or repairable product for something newly produced we add a new layer of pollution, no matter what the infinite growth marketing crew wants you to believe.

I know. But older, broken cars are replaced. What is your suggestion for these? Why should any new cars that replace old ones still be running on fossil fuels? I'm not arguing that we should wreck all existing cars immediately, I'm arguing that those who are produced and bought anyway should be battery electric.
