Agreed... and that's true for any entity that launders money, government and corporations alike... it is the taxpayer / consumer that pays.

But my point was - does the government give the taxi cab companies an incentive to purchase EVs, offsetting the reduced amount of time that the EV can be on the road compared to the ICE vehicle. If not, I'd be surprised they can be competitive.
