The one that drives less than 500 miles a year?

That's not as relevant as it might seem, as producing the car is about half of its lifetime emissions. And producing big cars results in more emissions than more reasonably-sized cars.

For example I’d love to buy an electric car but they’re just far too expensive for me to be able to afford. I need something, so I get a cheap and 2nd hand car. Inevitably that is an ICE because even second-hand electrics are hugely expensive. Yet somehow I’m the one targeted?

I think the goal is to target people with huge, luxury cars. Anything else doesn't make sense at all.

Win people over, probably not. However, it might discourage people from driving/buying big cars.
