Plus classic cars are way cooler looking and sounding, especially when they have large V8s.

1,200 miles a year? Lots of people in the US put on that milage in a month.

When I had classics, they were every day drivers that got 20,000 / year put on.
My ‘94 Roadmaster (not really a “classic” yet, when I had it had shockingly high numbers to fail emissions in Phoenix (though I don’t think CO2 was anyu different).

But rightly so, there have been numerous studies showing that electric cars are about 1.8% more enviromentally friendly that the average car. 500,000 lbs of dirt strip mined to create just one car battery. Please shipping, processing, etc.,

Certain classic owners, especially those with rare, irreplaceable cars, drive them very little. Heck, some are trailer queens that arten't really driven at all, and they bring down the average.
My '65 Chrysler 300 2 door hardtop coupe was an everyday driver in the early oughts. So were my '66 Darts. My wife (who was then 23 years old and quite striking got lots of looks, especially in the 300).

But making Electric Cars employs Hundreds of Thousands of Child Slaves, should they just be left to starve on the unemployment line?

This fits gas powered motorcycles as well as many models get 40, 50 and 60 miles per gallon.

My 2 work Trucks average 60K miles each annually, but my wifes jeep I bought her in 2015 only has 28K miles on it.

For a 4 year period I did 1200 per week in my other life in the LA area. LA is a distant memory now.☺

Just don’t let the insurer who underwrote your classic car insurance policy know...

The study is flawed, but yes if you track all the CO2 generated in manufacture and use, ICE cars are still greener by a long shot. Not even counting the battery generated waste. But who really cares, cars are about image and making yourself feel good about you.

I used to know a guy who raced — yes, raced — Duesenbergs. “That’s what it’s made for!”
Kinda like mailing a letter with an Inverted Jenny stamp.

I’d be satisfied if a new R majority and president required EV owners to utilize ONLY so-called “green” generated electricity. At least they would legitimately pay for their advocacy and maybe the self-adulatory preening would abate.
