No one has an EV that will last 50 years. They are also not made from renewables.

CO2 is plant food, and is a red herring to the energy discussion.

Oil is co2 'plants' from a timespan of over houndred thousend years which we burned in 50 or 100 years.

The EV components are primarily reusable.

A gas / fuel car will ALWAYS consume oil. If yo want to switch to greener energye transport systems like plant oil, you can do that, its just not very efficient in comparision to an EV car.

And if you really really ment co2 as 'plants will consume it' no they are not able to consume that excess co2. Otherwise this co2 graph wouldn't look how it looks now: https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Plants die for lack of CO2. It's their food.
