In multiple ways, to the tune of over $50,000 per EV over 10 years. The cars are subsidized, the electricity and electrical infrastructure are subsidized, the roads they are driven on are subsidized. For the price of a Camry, you can drive a car that out-accelerates a Ferrari and is cheaper (for the owner) to drive than an Accord. But we are all subsidizing these cars. Not so different than rooftop solar.

You meant on buildings and houses but there once was a modified car like that.
My memory turned out to be accurate that an Israeli found a way to put solar panels of a Renault LeCar.
Wacky idea.
