If we all dump our vehicles and buy EVs, the energy required to to scrap/recycle 1.5 billion ICE vehicles far outweighs any savings we would make and will take decades to recover.
On top of that they have massive chemical battery packs which are horrible to mine the resources for, are useless after 10 years, and cannot be recycled.
The report you quoted confirms all of this.
Simply putting synthetic fuel into our existing cars negates all of that and turns our existing cars tailpipe emissions into water.
The ICEs traded in for EVs don't get scrapped, they get sold as used cars. It's unclear if or how much the transition to EVs will shave off their expected lifespan. It will play out over decades.
Also batteries aren't useless after 10 years. They can be used for grid storage for years after being retired from EV service.
Synthetic fuel schemes are very expensive and haven't proven to be scalable.
