So at the moment it is the regular people are driving around in electic cars and the rich in the gas cars ... no and if there is a class war at work it is the other way round.
At this moment the ev revolution is being driven by the rich, this will trickle down over time naturally, but the choice to go electric means paying more. Tesla dont have a comparable product but VW do, pretty consistntly $10,000 more for electric. If 'regular' people are making sacrifices as the previous person suggested it is by spending so much more on a car (or lease) and not eating or being broke, because it is the only way they are participating at the moment.
