> The electric motor I can't imagine its worse to produce than a combustion motor

I assumed we're attempting to weigh up keeping an ICE vehicle that already exists - like my 10 year old diesel - vs building building a new EV vehicle and scrapping the old ICE.



Nobody is crushing their ICE and dumping it in the lake when they replace their existing and working ICE with an EV. They're selling/trading in their ICE which someone else will buy and use until it's not worth servicing anymore.

Although maybe we're missing a trick. Not the dumping-it-in-the-lake bit(!), but the taking-an-old-ICE-out-of-circulation bit.
