The manufacturing of new cars, even electric ones, generates heavy emissions, contributing to pollution. Repairing or replacing your car’s engine, though it may seem like a weak investment, is more environmentally friendly than buying a brand-new car. For the average American, reaching this mileage takes about 14 years.
