Also, you’re not engaging with the fact that the typical ICE car lasts an average of 12 years.

I will be honest, it's not like I'm doubting your data, but that number is hard to swallow, a 12 year old car is basically new. Even if people in America throw away new cars just because they need some minor repair that doesn't mean the car can't survive 20 years more with proper maintenance.
