You're misunderstanding the purpose of the policy. It's not to help out car purchasers, but to shift consumption towards EVs.

As somebody who cares a lot about the damage that ICEs do, locally and globally, it's enormously frustrating how many people care more about obsessive hatred towards the rich than they care about the planet burning.

I think there was an early argument for subsidizing expensive EVs assuming that was the only way to advance them. But no longer is that the case.
