what is the point of this?

a used car for 10k does more, costs less, and has a lower carbon footprint.

No it doesn't. An electric vehicle takes < 18 months to become carbon negative. Nobody buys a used car expecting it to last than 18 months. If it does, replacing your car every 18 months is not carbon friendly.
