i drive a 1st gen Yaris that is literally older than me. not the best for climate change, but it was 1500€ and uses less than 6L/100km. super cheap to drive. if an electric car was available at that price, and had a possibility of driving 10-20 more years, i would've bought it on the spot.

Lol a used car is far more environmentally conscience than a new EV.

True, but they did have to be new at some point. Presumably you might like to buy a used EV one day.

But how would people cope with shitty lives without buying something new every couple of weeks?
