I have seen quite a few charging points (or whatever they are called) -
in most large European cities. I assume that the cost of a charge is
set
so that it would be marginally lower to run such cars compared to
petrol/diesel cars.

AIUI those charging points are free to use.


WTF?

Are we subsidising that as well as FIT?


No - Tesla are...
