The Chinese EVs are very unsafe. Many many fires are happening with them, but you don't see it reported due to the journalistic repression there.
The sales numbers of Chinese EVs also look good because they'll buy hundreds of cars from their own stock and then park them in a field to rot, just to make the numbers look good.
IMO there shouldn't be a tariff on Chinese EVs but an outright ban.

Wonder if it's just carelessness, or it's there is an inherent cost to make them safe. As in, did they just not bother because of laziness, or that extra safety to prevent fires takes up the 2x-3x price markup and there is simply no way around it.
- mikrotikker 3y agoIMO it's cost saving.
- freddie_mercury 3y agoWhy does there need to be a ban? Why isn't simply enforcing existing US safety standards sufficient?
- mikrotikker 3y agoDepends if you want to QA every single shipment to ensure they don't revert back to cheaping out like they've done with other markets in the past.
