Several years back this happened here in India, with the first mass produced, battery-operated car, the Tata Nano. Many of them caught fire and later for political reasons more than anything else, the entire line became a failure. But now electric vehicles are making a comeback thanks to ever-rising fossil fuel prices.

They are not in favour of any kind of subsidy, though as you note the majority of the population heavily depends on various subsidies to make ends meet. It is a case of squeezing the public wallet to the absolute extent so govt coffers can be built up.
