      Right? Why the focus on Chinese EVs? Do no European EVs exist? No Japanese EVs? Why not just open the doors for all EVs, regardless of what country it’s from, and then customers can make informed decisions on which EV to get based on whatever criteria they wish? Get the competition going!

      No but I think they’re the cheapest. It’d be a good start. At this point any alternative would be I guess

        Yeah how do you think it’s the cheapest? They have the most clever engineering methods or something?

        No. It’s cheap material, cheap labor, concessions on everything.

          China is a nation of around a billion people, most of whom we would consider middle class, and 22% of the overall fleet is electric, with new car sales being higher. The economies of scale for manufacturing are huge.

          Not saying they’re quality made. But cheap EVs would be nice compared to the over inflated car prices today, if they were cheap enough.
