RE:RE:Chris talk Protectionism and the Future of EV Adoption
Recent tariff increases on Chinese cars by the U.S. and Canada, reaching up to 100%, effectively block Chinese vehicles from entering these markets. Doornbos questioned whether this protectionist stance aligns with the goal of accelerating EV adoption, especially given the shortage of affordable electric vehicles in the $20,000 to $40,000 range. He suggested that more affordable options could significantly boost EV adoption, leading to faster infrastructure development and advancing the broader electrification agenda.
It seems crazy that we aren't importing EV's without tariffs. Lower cost, higher quality. Why?
