I always think, why not just let em sell it at the price they are? It's not like our market is competing. So flood the market with cheap Chinese EVs until our own industry starts actually producing good, inexpensive EVs.
Everything is about protecting corporations here. I just want to be able to afford a car that doesn't pollute as much! Or literally better public transit.
Chinese government subsidizes EV production so this is not a fair competition. The only way to counter that and do local production subsidies (which US already does to some extent) and tariffs.
Something needs to be different other than just punishing the Chinese. EV prices are shit in the US. It's already unfair. These tariffs should be fed directly into subsidizing EV production and factory development with strict scrutiny (NOT blank check handouts to corporations)
So we are competing how is subsidizing the EV industry the most? Thats a stupid idea.
