Policies to Reduce the Relative Cost of EVs
A key strategy to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is to implement policies that lower their relative cost compared to conventional cars. Examples of such policies include direct government subsidies for consumer purchases, funding for research and development (R&D) of improved vehicles and batteries, support for vehicle production, and investment in the charging station network.

A government policy that provides funding to build a nationwide network of public charging stations is primarily intended to lower the initial purchase price of an electric vehicle for consumers.
A government is deciding between two primary strategies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Strategy 1 involves offering large, direct cash rebates to consumers who purchase an EV. Strategy 2 involves providing significant funding for research into next-generation battery technology and grants to companies building new EV manufacturing plants. Which of the following statements best analyzes the fundamental difference between these two approaches?
