I reread my post, and see it wasn't clear. Here it is again, hopefully clearer:
Almost, but not quite. The current incentives for higher income people to buy a ZEV will remain in place, so there is still an incentive to buy a ZEV. The new bill gives some real incentives for low income people to swap their older, higher polluting vehicle for the cleanest ones. One barrier to retiring older vehicles is that low income folks can't afford to replace the old and dirty with new and clean. The bill will be good for spurring the ZEV market at all price points, and with increased demand for ZEVs, ZEV costs will likely drop.
