I strongly suspect the carbon impact of a version of a hypothetical geo metro that runs for 30 years vs. an electric car that needs to be replaced because the proprietary battery is dead after 10 years is so wide you'd never be able to recover.
But who wants to sell us a geo metro that lasts for 30 years?

The fact that we're talking apples and oranges is part of my point.
We could create vehicles that are actually greener given 30 years of technological advancement, but we refuse to. We could build things even cheaper and less resource intensive than a geo metro, but it's illegal to do so.
It's all a fraud, it's all a display put on to pretend they care about something. Instead of doing the thing we can do today, we go "oh, the technology just isn't there yet" and we dump more money into our political allies companies.
