Dude just stop.

They built a vehicle for you

It's the 1988 CRX HF and it got 45mpg, was simple and easy to maintain, fun to drive, and no lithium or cobalt mining, which is the same issue EVs have.

No one really wants EVs because guess what? You might only drive 6 miles a day. I used to have an hour plus commute each way, and covered a 3000 mile journey to my current abode. Range is desirable.

Smaller gas tank isn't going to do shit and your hybrids are worse for the environment than my 16mpg avg truck from the 90s that still runs fine.

Meanwhile I used to work at a lot where Leafs were being rebatteried and auctioned off. Acres of them. None had more than maybe 110k on the clock. It's wasteful, and as dumb a "solution" as reusable grocery bags.

Modern cars hit the junkyard FAR faster than their forebears did.
