Too Afraid to Ask

Subsidies are money given by the government to help people buy electric cars. This makes it cheaper for consumers to choose electric vehicles over regular ones.

Technical Definition

Subsidies are financial incentives provided by the government to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles. These can take the form of tax credits, rebates, or grants, making EVs more affordable for consumers.
