Oh, of course. It’s always been the case that being poor is more expensive. Or to put it differently, if you can afford higher up-front costs you end up saving in the long run.
But even then: right now you e.g. mostly only get affordable ICE cars. But if the people who can afford it now mostly buy electric, that will have an effect on the used cars market in a few years.
Again, I’m not talking about socioeconomic fairness. Higher fuel prices hurt, and they hurt the poor more than the rich. I’m talking purely on the effects on the climate, and these are undeniably there.
And that’s where the Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness comes into play.
