Biden set to levy 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs this week

Both the US and EU are deeply concerned about heavily subsidized Chinese OEMs.

@arstechnica you know, there's no reason we can't heavily subsidize American EVs and compete on equal terms (except a slavish devotion to the notion of market capitalism).

@arstechnica these cars are mostly plastic and are horrible with the cobalt and Lithium mining..

The future is not everyone having their own car.

This is just someone wanting to sell you another car not fix the issue.

@arstechnica I don't know about US, but in EU we're more worried about apocalyptic climate change that is accelerated by people continuing to burn stuff (including, but not limited to, in internal combustion engine cars) than a few car manufacturers having a hard time because they doggedly stuck to designing and making more shitty petrol, diesel & hybrid cars.
