Solid piece on why we’re not buying Chinese EVs in the U.S. https://www.npr.org/2024/05/06/1248065838/cheap-chinese-evs-us-buy-byd-electric-vehicles It goes through the basics (upgrades required for safety, tariffs, etc.), but then ALSO gets into labor: suppressed wages plus forced/slave labor on top of subsidies. Doesn’t mention Chinese lack of environmental regulation in manufacturing (despite some laws on the books). I picture trying to get warranty service—already a pain with companies based in the U.S. or Europe.
