You may not be aware, but the US federal government (taxpayer) is subsidizing EVs at up to $7,500 for the first 200k cars any manufacturer sells. Other states and local governments have incentives on top of that. Oregon for example has up to $5,000 in addition to the federal amount of $7,500 for a total of $12,500 USD.
Many (most?) states treat EVs the same as ICE vehicles as far as registration fees go. That means road infrastructure is subsidized by ICE drivers and EV drivers tend to get a break. Yet another form of incentive.
