If you can’t, using the same private vehicle for a long time, while not ideal, is acceptable.

The typical breakeven point for an ev (when carbon emissions saved overtake emissions produced by its production) is around 30k kilometers. I don't think even very wealthy people are getting rid of their cars so soon.
