I won't be buying a new car. ICE or EV. Specifically because my old car doesn't have a lot of the things that allow the car manufacturer to spy on me, and I won't upgrade to any of the nonsense. Right now I can fix pretty much everything in that car for less than the price of a new vehicle.

I've managed to somehow make friends with the owner of a local junkyard. Not quite sure how I did that it wasn't intentional but it's quite useful because I can get parts for my car that the manufacturer would want hundreds of pounds for otherwise.

In the future I bet they pull some apple style rubbish and start software locking components to individual vehicles so you can't just pull them off a donor car to fix yours
