The volt was awesome for its time (aka. Opel Ampera in the EU). Even with quite a lot of highway driving we got 1L/100km (~235mpg) with it over its lifetime around 2014. That’s with charging at home of course, but still, it’s at minimum a fivefold reduction in fuel consumption. And that with a 15kWh battery pack, which is a lot smaller than full EVs, making it less resource intensive.

There’s this famous quote about investing which goes: “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”. I think that equally holds for the labor market. Just because you and everyone around you knows your job can’t be replaced by AI, doesn’t mean there won’t be an attempt to replace you which lasts long enough for you to lose your house.
