I thought he said that 12,000 was a actually lower than the average, which gives the "keeping your old car" an advantage. The less you drive them more sense it makes to keep your older car longer. If you're going to drive a million miles a years you'd probably be better off with the newest and most fuel efficient vehicle you could find. (Except an EV probably wouldn't be a good vehicle to try to drive a million miles per year in.)
