These policies are for new imports only. If you are trying to make the link between them and a price increase for older model used cars, I think you are stretching reality a bit...

.....Subsidize the cost of a new vehicle....it will be cheaper....make the existing alternative more scarce.... it will be more expensive... not a long bow to draw.
Interestingly, there is commentary that suggests imported EV's (new or second hand) will increase in price as the importer/manufacturer/(whatever other clip of the ticket on the way through...) knows the end result is subsidized....
