Why is it that higher energy-efficiency of EVs translates
to higher cost than ICE vehicles in spite of subsidies through
generous rebates at the expense of taxpayers?

Conclusion
In summary, EVs are generally more energy-efficient than ICE vehicles. The higher efficiency of electric motors compared to combustion engines, combined with the potential for using renewable energy sources, makes EVs a more efficient choice in terms of energy consumption and environmental impact. However, the overall efficiency of EVs can be affected by the sources of electricity used for charging and the energy losses in the power generation and distribution process.
