BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US, even with a 100% tariff (electrek.co)

Even with the new 100% tariff on electric vehicles imported from China, BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US. According to a new report, BYD’s lowest-priced EV would still undercut all US automakers at under $25,000.

After discontinuing the production of vehicles powered entirely by internal combustion engines in March 2022, BYD has been at the forefront of the industry’s shift to EVs.

Honestly in my opinion it is time to remove all tariffs on EVs under 25k and let anyone who wants to fill that slot in. American car manufacturers refuse to fill the market need.

I'll take interest when their labor practices are closer to humane and further from indentured servitude.

Yeah say what you want about American cars but at least they're from unionized factories

I really want the Dolphin but I definitely am in no way near being able to afford it yet.

We miss out on so much from the rest of the world but we have so many pridefully ignorant people that will die on any hill that might improve our lives.

I'd personally love to have more than 0 weeks of government required paid time off, sick days, the top reason for bankruptcy not be medical bills, and no more mass shootings but I will most likely be dead before any of that happens.
