Best is to run your car to the ground.

Absolutely not if you have an older ICE car with bad gas mileage and/or a diesel. Even getting a NEW EV would be better for global warming and the health of your fellow humans than continuing THAT shit show.

Of course, as per the OP, bicycle and mass transit is still much better than any EV, but the really bad emissions cars should NOT stay on the road until their "natural" death unless absolutely necessary.

I don't understand. I thought there's more emissions being made from the creation of the EV and its lithium battery than using the remaining life of a gas beater.

That's a commonly believed myth. In reality that's only true for the most efficient ICEs, not the ones I mentioned.
