This can be solved by raising gas prices.
"How much can I spend to throw away CO2 to go to a place with my car?"

That's what EV are good for, outside of narrow good use cases. People just don't wanna use them for anything except virtue signalling.
the point of sale ev credits coming in 2024 would help, but if your in the used market (e.g. low income end) this would suck.
Anyway, I think that's a good idea for these situations.
I communicates that prices will be going up in the long term and allows people to cut their cloth accordingly.
I do share your concern though. I think we need to resurrect the idea of the 'peoples car' to get cheap new EVs out there, to make up for a lack of depth in the second hand ev market.
