In the UK we 'technically' have a fuel duty escalator that goes up each year (I say technically because it's been overridden by the chancellor every year for the last decade). Anyway, I think that's a good idea for these situations. I communicates that prices will be going up in the long term and allows people to cut their cloth accordingly. I do share your concern though. I think we need to resurrect the idea of the 'peoples car' to get cheap new EVs out there, to make up for a lack of depth in the second hand ev market.
