I’m convinced that every part of this combination of foulups is by design, the final goal being the destruction of individual personal mobility, and with it, the American middle class.

Yep. There was an article from Norway essentially PROVING what you wrote. Seems that 94% or so of vehicle buyers in Norway are buying EVs, due to multiple incentives. Now the politicians there are upset because they wanted people OUT OF THEIR CARS, so they consider this transition to be a failure and they’re working on other approaches.
That has been apparently the goal for decades. But now it has segued from talk to actually doing it. “15 minute cities” is another manifestation. Once you can walk to all the conveniences which will be government owned stores etc., you will require permission to leave your sector and may only exit on bicycle or in government transportation.
