Chinese electric cars

I’m pretty sure there is a national charging standard that automakers are adopting… from what I understand, they are all adopting Tesla’s format… it wouldn’t make sense for there not to be

 

Makes sense. BYD used to partner with Tesla in China, so I am sure that most of the technology is "inappropriately appropriated", dated Tesla technology.

 

Torn? Excellent choice of words.

 

Oh no! the Evil Chinese wanna sell us stuff below their cost. BRING IT!! I am for tariffs of $0.0!

 

I'm sure they are. As are we. But there's subsidizing, then there's subsidizing.

 

That’s what countervailing duties are for and the WTO specifically allows for it. In the US there is a formal process through the department of commerce. In fact the US just levied CVDs on China for aluminum extrusions.

 

Here's a first: I agree with you.

 

OMG

 

Sure, leave it up to the oligopolies. They'll do the right thing and sacrifice short term profit for the long term good of humanity, like how they pivoted away from fossil fuels decades ago and saved us from global warming.

 

First time I've ever agreed with that guy also.

 

I suspect if we sat down with most people, we'd find many more areas of agreement than not. On these forums, we are speaking as cult members, but one-on-one much less so, don't you think?

 

god, the disregard for poor people on this thread is gross. But, but, min wage....you know, cuz all the poor people of the world do is work & then go back into a box. they never consume.

 

so, ban cheap EVs!!! makes (non)sense

 

EVs from China aren't cheap.

 

I guess I misunderstood the OP or it was wrong. It sez 15k. seems cheap to me.

 

You think the price of something always represents its true cost. Some of us aren't that gullible.
