I assume you're thinking of China. However, if anything the US subsidises car manufacturing _more_ than Europe (in particular it's always ready with a cheeky bailout, whereas European countries have been more prone to just let failing car companies die or merge), and, for all the talk about BYD (understandable; the media likes novelty, and "scary Chinese upstart is making lotsa EVs" is more media-friendly than "Boring old VW AG is making lotsa EVs"), the European manufacturers are also doing far better here than the US legacy manufacturers.
