I looked up what it would cost to outfit/retrofit one of those Chinese EVs to US safety and environmental standards.
$600.
So we could get a new, functional EV for $2100+Turdiffs. Even if that was 100%, it would still be only $4200.
The big car companies in AMURRICA, Japan, and Korea must be shitting themselves at the thought.

You can find dozens of websites from European and Australian retailers of those EVs, as well as the manufacturers and the Chinese government. It took me about three seconds on Google.
China is in the process of kicking our ass in so many different ways. Trump has been mad at China for decades, ever since they wouldn't cede land to him so he could build a casino and resort there. So we suffer for it.
We've been in the process for decades of "protecting" our inefficient and obsolete manufacturing industries. If we can buy functional cars for one-fifth of what Detroit wants to charge us, why shouldn't we be allowed to???
