While I think that EVs are cool, the subsidies not only distort things but are essentially tax breaks for the well-off.

It's funny to me how the whole ICE vs. EV argument just isn't that much of a slam-dunk. Looking at page 5 here:

Completely altering the vehicle mix doesn't look like a game changer to me. I guess there's probably no low-hanging fruit.

In the future, no doubt not only will houses be unaffordable for the middle class and below, but also cars.
