Understood but reducing or
Understood but reducing or eliminating dependance on gas / oil is the endgame and that benefits everyone. Not everyone uses public transportation but that is subsidized. Not everyone eats meat or drinks milk but that is subsidized - regardless of your income. Not everyone spends time in prison but that's funded by tax dollars for the greater good. Technologies which make their debut in higher end vehicles eventually trickle down to mass market...I think the subsidies are the Government's way of turning the trickle into a gush. If there was nothing to this and there was no market for these then Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Fisker, Tesla and Smart to name a few would not be throwing their respective hats in the electric ring. Prices will come down in time folks...just be patient and stop crapping on the first guys to market and those who support them.
