Not even taking into account other environmental attributes, which the EV is clearly worse.

Youre assuming EVs only last half as long as EVs (they dont) and youre not taking into account clean power generation.
EVs are also constantly developing, getting more range per kW where ICE cars are about as economical as they are going to get.
And why just Co2? Theres at least 20 harmful materials coming out of ICE tailpipes, theres none coming out of EVs.
Other than that its a great argument.

Sports cars account for 1-2% of total US annual sales. If ICE production does finish those numbers are hardly going to stop the world turning.
