You are missing the point. The whole thread is about the fact, that most people will be unable to afford a BEV and cheap ICE won't be available because arbitrary reasons. Those people will then actively vote for populists and they will put a brake or even reverse the green policies.

It is so patently ridiculous, when you are trying to sell old junk BEV as a superior product, while it can't even remotely do what previous ICE with similar age was able to do. People does not understand why they should use inferior product - junk BEV with burnt out battery - and that's the reason why they will be actively detracting any kind of green effort, because current policies are leaving those people behind. Frankly it seems to me that majority of society will be left behind by insensitive and expensive green policies.
