> But of course all this push to EVs is a huge regressive tax applied to the less-off people which is constantly ignored from the public discourse, so this type of attitude does not surprise me at all.

Easy just tax the rich more, tax carbon, subsidize EVs

Tax the rich more, tax carbon, and build trains and buy buses. Stop subsidizing single occupancy vehicles which are a huge resource waste even if electric. Why as a society do we want to subsidize a vehicle that is going to spend 95% of its life parked when we can build common transportation that everyone can use?
