The rise of inexpensive Chinese electric vehicles has upped the pressure on legacy automakers who have turned to suppliers, from battery materials makers to chipmakers, to squeeze out costs and develop affordable EVs quicker than previously planned.
And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.
The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.
This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.
Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.
The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.
Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.
well i’m seeing frankly terrible business decisions all around with legacy auto producing terrible EV, and complaining that they aren’t selling it is getting ridiculous that i am having to place more hope on startups than I am on domestic automotive manufacturers.
