I'd call that a government subsidy. Indirect, but subsidy nonetheless.

Almost every industry benefits substantially from government “help”

To simply target EV subsidies as a talking point you need to also include the massive subsidies that the fossil fuel industry also gets

There really is no industry that is truly “free market” that doesn’t involve any sort of government incentives, tax breaks/credits or subsidies
