That is not the point. Energy prices are a massive input to systemic inflation. We are setting ourselves up for a 70s style stagflation environment. The 70s environment was practically defined by energy price shocks.
Even if you own an EV yourself these gas prices could hurt you. Converting from hydrocarbons is going to take decades.
Pretending the economy doesn't run on oil and gas is just counter productive in general. Basically, we will pretend until things have gone too far and then we will do what we would have done anyway.
Morally, I don't think judgement can be passed on drivers until there are EV models that undercut budget unleaded models.
"Just learn to code and buy a Tesla" is not an answer to our problems.
