That’s why the phase out is for a long time and involves public subsidies.

I have ridden in cabs that were owner operated that were electric already. TCO was better for the owner despite their great cost consciousness. And a lot of poorer people drive very efficient cars, it’s the rich that tend to be the “showy wasters of resources, screw every one else” folks.

you're mistaking lower middle class for poor.

poor people drive whatever the hell they can afford and EV's, and their subsequent maintenance costs, aint that.
