If a business cannot survive without subsidies. Its not a business.

The whole global car industry would be bankrupt without subsidies.

Not all subsidies are there to keep business afloat, some are there to insure local manufacturing. Since the requirement of European batteries, it likely wants to keep the car and battery manufacturing locally and not lose it to China.

An EV at any price is not a bargain it's a liability.
