If we were smart, we would let the cheap Chinese EVs flood the US market and drive down prices in the US using competition.

So much for the invisible hand of the market I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In order to do that the US government would need to heavily subsidize EVs the way the Chinese government does.

I support this... in my view the Chinese government is putting its money out there in order to get more people into an EV. The US should match their efforts.

You mean the way we previously subsidized the regular auto industry and the supporting fossil fuel industries for... 70-90 years?

And corn, which has been horrible for health in the US. But I guess that doesn't count.

Yep! Gotta have corn, come get your corn, high fructose time!
