Funny you should say that. What the world wide government incentives spent for EVs pale in comparison with what the U.S. have spent to incentivize the continued purchase and use of gasoline powered ICE cars.

I'm not a beatnik, but even at $4.xx per gallon we pay but a fraction of what other countries pay for gas, because we've already spent multiples of trillion dollars and thousands of U.S. lives for the privilege to pay less for a gallon of gas than milk (for some parts of the country, at least).

At the end of the day, the "incentives" to purchase EVs is a drop in the bucket by comparison.
