Newer gasoline/petrol cars are also data collection machines. False dichotomy there.
Even if the electricity comes from fossil fuels, the efficiency of large plants is far better than that of individual combustion engines; and it provides better opportunity to replace the source with something renewable or at least safer, like solar, wind, or nuclear.
I ain’t buying a new car period ( not like I have money ) and a decent small hatchback like a polo or fiesta from early to 2010 would prolly be the best I can afford or a kia or hyundai might be a tad bit more affordable . I’d steer clear from anything newer not necessarily by choice but the whole cars becoming applications thing is def contributing to it

You are right. But I think EV charging generates more data than gas.
