Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) subsidised by taxpayers

Love the way these are being called "chargers" to bamboozle the consumer and justify the cost.
Off topic, but in respect of all the arguments and claims made by users of BEVs in general, their 'enjoyment' would seem to come from being subsidised by other taxpayers, by not paying a fair share of taxes themselves, or a combination of the two. Without touching on energy (in)efficiencies, a good proportion of the energy consumed by BEVs (or BEV users) still comes from hydrocarbons in this country. As far as the true long-term cost of a BEV is concerned, I believe the jury is still out on that one.
I see that some of the domestic electricity suppliers are getting in on this too, offering consumers lower cost electricity for vehicle charging. Perhaps that's special electricity that grows on trees.
