    When China has the only affordable EVs currently and the US government prevents Americans from buying them, then that means the US government made a decision to slow the global adoption of EVs.

        I know it’s hard to imagine what it’s like, but when somebody is poor then “cheapest” = “only”

        I can afford chinese EVs that go for 10-12k

        I can’t afford a 35-60k tesla, or would buy one on principal.

        That’s why this slows the world’s transition to EVs.
