Well I'm using the same designation of 'poor' as you were in the above comment. I'd say those with leased vehicles would definitely not fall into the category of poor.
Lots of people lease cars that they can't afford and are basicly car poor. I was house poor when we bought our first house. Lots of low cost meals like pasta and bologna sandwiches so we could make payments while buying furniture and making repairs
Being car poor and house poor isn't being poor.
Home owners and/or people getting brand new cars every 2-3 years have decent incomes and if you fall into one of these two groups while considering yourself poor, it's because you're overspending not because you don't have enough income to meet the bare minimum for survival. Those are the people who are poor.
Furthermore, in your original comment you talked about poor people not having anywhere to charge their vehicle and now you're telling me you meant homeowners who bought too much house for their income while also owning a brand new car? Give me a break. I'm sure you can find an extra $500 to have a charger installed.
