thats all valid.
I live in Ireland where the NCT (state inspection equivalent) is so fucking stringent that people talk to me about my car all the time and its just over 20 years old. cars get NCT'd off the road here all the time, and you cant sell it here without the NCT. Once it finally fails, someone who knows what they're looking at will probably ship it to Hungary or something, so there's the cost of that, but your market idea has to be global for that to make sense, but something tells me your idea of the system is everywhere the atmosphere is, so
That makes sense. My understanding is that it's quite common for cars to end up in poorer countries as they age, so that all checks out. The point is on average, cars get used, so we want to prevent the worst ones from being made moving forward (ICE). And yes, to me the system is the atmosphere since I'm primarily concerned with an overabundance of CO2 in the atmosphere.
