Perhaps consider an used car instead of a brand new one? New electric vehicle is worse for the environment than one that already exists even if it runs on petrol/diesel
For me it’s less about the environment and most about the long term cost savings and needing less maintenance.
The savings from not buying a new one pays for quite a few trips to the mechanic. New car loses half of its value in just few years so you're guranteed to lose money anyways.
My car is quite old, from 2007. I'm spending a lot in preventative maintenance like belts, pumps, fluids etc because I know the first real problem it'll have I'll have to buy something else.
If I could just avoid all that, that would be great.
