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.
Okay…so everything you’re talking about is irrelevant to the conversation?
I grant that anyone continuing to use their old car is doing the best thing for the planet. This article discussion is around production of new cars, and which ones people buy.

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