> You are implying that China would be producing the cars, or at least the primary components. They already are. Just because US doesn't buy all components from China doesn't mean that China won't develop those components for other markets or its internal use. But electric cars are at the moment a minority in China, if US went all-in on electric cars (an assuming no tariff war with China), that would kickstart mass conversion of car manufacturing process to electric. >Even ICE vehicles in the US overwhelmingly have the engine and transmission built in countries other than China, ICE != EV Yeah, because perfecting ICE takes decades of investment. Compared to them EV are easy and China already knows how to make them. Hell, they have entire logistic lines worked out for electrical motors. https://www.economist.com/technology-quarterly/2020/01/02/china-has-never-mastered-internal-combustion-engines https://www.economist.com/technology-quarterly/2020/01/02/ch...
