You're right. I should have said "not that any American president is heeding that caution." The tariff on China-made EVs has basically insured that EV technology in China and other countries would eclipse US technology. Here's the lack of logic that bothers me: - If you're a Joe Biden Democrat, you believe EVs should replace ICEs as quickly as possible for the sake of the environment. So in order to do that, you deprive the American consumer of some of the best EVs out there because they are Chinese-engineered? Even if they're made in Mexico? Doesn't that slow the conversion to an EV-based automobile culture, which is, after all, the worst possible outcome for climate change warriors? - If you're a Donald Trump Republican, you believe EVs have been forced on a U.S. consumer base that doesn't really want them. U.S. auto companies need to make them to fulfill government mandates, including CAFE average fuel efficiency standards. So you ban Chinese EVs or put a huge tariff on them ... why? I thought we really didn't want them, that the consumer - if left to his own devices - will overwhelmingly choose to buy an ICE. Why not let the market decide since the whole push for EVs is, after all, based on the Climate Change Panic Hoax? Another way in which the political parties just aren't making sense these days. 1
