Lots and lots of things are subsidized through the tax laws and direct spending. Some better than others. Some continue long after the need or purpose has expired.
I believe the primary "subsidy" to Tesla and Nissan are loans that are to be repaid.
Plenty of vehicles come with freebies. The beauty of an electric vehicle is that the energy is so inexpensive Tesla is building a network for when the vehicles travel a long distance from home. Solar panels provide the electric for the charging stations so the energy comes from the sun. Again I believe most charging will be done at home. Nissan is considering a free gasoline loaner car to EV owners for long trips.
I also believe the jumpstart the government has given electric vehicles is research. The EVs will improve each year that they are in production. Even the 2013 LEAF is rumored to have 10% better range for the Smyrna plant in TN where they will be built. Thats jobs for Americans BTW.
Toyota RAV4 is also available in CA and has almost twice the range as LEAF for those interested.
