It's not only a matter of subsidies. It's also a matter of taxes, regional taxes. Europe issues the outlines within which the various member states can pursue their own policies regarding EVs.
In a lot of memder states you have to pay little or no road tax and
many electric vehicles are registered as commercial vehicles. In various member states the entire purchase cost of the cars can be deducted for tax purposes. The same goes for fuel- powered vehicles by the way. The EV way of life in Europe is there to stay imo. It will sometimes be a bumpy road. The EV- users I know of, are thrilled with their vehicles and are willing to pay more. But not everybody of course. EV prices will fall, and why shouldn't governments discourage fuel powered vehicles? Look at the low emission zones in many European cities, increased taxes on diesel vehicles, car manufacturers must meet emissions standards and are fined if they do not etc. Agreed, it won't be all blue skies for EV's but, as we know, Europe has ambitious renewable energy targets and has pushed them, through a legal framework (directives and regulations) in every production and consumption process. I believe it's there to stay.
