    Sunk cost fallacy.

    Unless you literally destroy the old ice vehicle to replace it with a new ev, the new ev is a net improvement for the environment.

    But since it enters the used car market, this is not the case. The replaced ice vehicle is likely pushing an older more polluting ice vehicle out of the system.
