The environmental benefit is minimal if any when you consider the issues around mining for the minerals that make the batteries and disposal of the battery when it has got so bad it won't even get you to Tesco (Waitrose for the posh).

What is the value of a 10 year old EV with a (probably) dying battery . . . . . . . .would you really buy one? At least you can still get in a 10 year old ICE and drive it 2-300 miles.

Have you looked at the price of a 10 year old Model S? You might be surprised .
