> If you are trying to decide whether to buy a new EV for reduced carbon emissions vs continuing to drive your old gas guzzler, this says to keep your old car.

No, this really poorly considered article is saying that if you have a classic car and drive it like a classic car (1200 miles per year) then an EV is not a good replacement for that classic car. But if you do the math and consider the average driving distance in the US, the breakeven for that classic car driven like an average car would be in 3 years, not 37.
