There are always going to be conflicting views on this. Cost of producing a new vehicle vs. the cost of keeping an older less efficient vehicle on the road. It's probably the biggest position that detractors of electric cars take. Cost/resources to produce the batteries as well as the cars themselves.
That said, I'm of the mindset that as long as I am disposing of my oil properly for oil changes and not going pedal to the metal all day long, I'm probably doing the best I can to contribute whilst still being able to enjoy my driving experience. And enjoyment is exactly what it is... so it has to be in something that I find engaging and worthwhile.
