    Comparing the price of a new EV to a thoroughly used ICE car isn’t very meaningful.

      Maybe not to you but that amount of money is a lot to me, and how I spend it to strategically offset my own ghg emissions is something within my power. Like I said I spent it on offsetting my propane use instead of a vehicle purchase, not only do I save money every day because of that but it had a much bigger impact on my ghg emissions. If a new EV is 60k and you barely drive, yet every day you’re heating your home with ghg emitting fuel, that difference in price is meaningful insofar as there are tonnes of co2 that aren’t in the atmosphere.
