Median income in Norway is $55k/year before 32% tax and 25% sales tax on everything except the aforementioned EVs, plus various special-purpose taxes on e.g. transportation that brings car TCO for a typical family into the ~$10k/year range. I'm not even sure what we're discussing anymore. But sure.

My point was rather that there is a very sizable developed-world middle class that is, and that this family is pretty representative among those. Think North America, UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia, Australia rather than India, Africa and China.
