I want to highlight this point because I think it's basically the entire problem, and no one has any kind of plan to address it.

You're 28 years old, you have a young family, you live in the north or in scotland, you earn 28k a year. You have to drive to get to work. What is the plan once you can't buy a car for 5k, 8k, 12k? The only option left is to buy a 30k electric car on finance (40k after interest)? And that lasts maybe 10 years and you need to buy another one?

I only see this resulting in yet another massive migration of wealth away from the poor to the rich.

There's no evidence that Electric Cars only last 10 years, given that used ICE cars will continue to be sold beyond that dates, there's no evidence we are going to have a drop . Furthermore you can already buy used electric cars for under 10k in the UK. What's needed in that specific regard, is a policy for rating how the battery has deteriorated over the time, and the government was claimed to working on that. Obviously infrastructure is still a big issue that needs solved.
