For example, let's say that the manufacturing footprint of a gasoline subcompact and an EV are roughly equal. Let's say the EV depreciates at twice the rate of the gasoline subcompact. Then the EV has twice the manufacturing footprint.
Let's say monkeys fly out of my butt. Free transportation amirite?
You claim much and demonstrate little.
Depreciation has fuck all to do with it. What you're actually claiming is that EVs last half as long -and- that they have the same manufacturing carbon footprint.
Why are you ignoring the operational carbon footprint?
