Just for fun because I have actually thought about it, this is my deprecation plan for my ICE vehicles:

A 90s Nissan Skyline is my daily driver but also a track-day car. When it comes time to deprecate it, it will become a full time track car. I have converted it to run on Ethanol blends, which are already a niche race fuel and so are unlikely to go away unlike Unleaded petroleum and the hassle of getting it won't be a big deal as race tracks already have it on site often.

My other ICE vehicle is a travel van, and it runs on a small turbo diesel. By the time I need to deprecate it, it may be that an EV van that is travel capable is available but if not, biodiesel until an EV conversion makes sense.

I don't drive very often, so a pragmatic small range EV would be just fine, but I could even forgo a daily entirely in favour of my bike and public transport.

I was referring more to thinking through the climate effects, and changing to EV, which even with the long tailpipe are still way better than ICE. But it's fair to say there must be a transition plan.

EV vans designed by a current-century auto company would be nice! That's a top item for what I wish Tesla would work on next.
