There's "Is an ev better than a new ice car" and "is an ev better than an ice car you already have".
I think we're discussing the latter, where the upfront cost of the ice doesn't count because you already have it.

But generally we don't scrap old ones.
If you instead sell the old one to someone who drives an ICE car that gets worse mpg then that's a further benefit.
