Like they did with quality medical care, the elite are trying to make individualized auto transport a luxury. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:

They tell us battery powered devices are necessary to prevent the “climate” from “changing,” which they claim is happening because we’re driving cars. What they don’t tell us – directly – is that they’ll use devices to get most of us out of cars rather than getting us to switch from cars to devices.
That’s the intent, at any rate.
How will they do this? Take a look at the window sticker of the devices they’re pushing on us. One example being the device to which they have affixed the “Charger” name. It has a base price of more than $60k – or about just shy of twice as much as it cost to buy the car named Charger when it was last available in 2023, when you could buy one for $33,200.
Next up, the VW I.D. Buzz – which is a device that is meant to evoke fond recollections of the VW Microbus of the Hippie era back in the ’60s. Apparently, VW hopes people will forget that a Microbus didn’t cost $61,545 to start, as the device that hopes to leverage memories of it does.
A 1967 VW Bus stickered for about $21,00 in today’s money – or about a third the money it takes to buy the device that only affluent Hippies (a chimeric being if ever there was one) can afford. One that only affluent Hippies can house. You didn’t need to own a private garage to be able to charge up an old VW bus at home. You do need one to avoid waiting half an hour or so several times a week at a Sheetz if you own a device such as the I.D. Buzz.
