They received gov't loans like other start-ups at the time (ie. FISKER), and yes in the US at least the taxpayer shoulders some of the cost to subsidize the purchase via personal tax credits. The Nissan LEAF has tax credits as well. I know people who spend $0/mo on the LEAF due to incentives as well as state and federal tax credits.
