Means-testing would make it unnecessarily expensive. Just make it so it only applies to cheap EVs. Applying reabtes to used would be really nice but unfortunately is impossible because a car could be sold used an infinite number of times.
EV incentives are always going to benefit people who can afford cars, which is absolutely imbalanced, but the goal is to just get more EVs on the road and not wealth distribution.
Carney government would never do this, but we should just fund public transit so that it’s free, and fund EV bus fleets.
Rebates on used cars can come with the stipulation that the current owner has owned it for a certain number of years, and the amount can also be smaller.
