Chinese EV's are insanely cheap. Our Government won't let them sell here though.
42 u/Katana-Kat 17d ago Something something free market something something competition something something 29 u/SvartrKukkSceand 17d ago there's at least a glimmer of "its not a free market" when all those companies are only so cheap because they are MASSIVELY subsidized by the Chinese Government. I dont agree with banning them, but the argument is there and legit at least a little. 16 u/robmanjr 17d ago We subsidize all kinds of stupid shit like teslas or anything else that super genius wants, but not regular cars. 18 u/joka2696 17d ago We bailed out the big three long before the "super genius". 8 u/Dracomortua 17d ago Yes, multiple times. In the 80s and then again about 30 years later. Not to mention gas subsidies as well as bankrupting most forms of rail. Off the top of my head? I am sure that they got more but i am not an American. 2 u/joka2696 17d ago The only reason railroads exist in the Northeast U.S. is because of government subsidies.
