Chinese EVs Could Cripple U.S. Auto Market if Tariffs Lifted
David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discussed how removing the 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) could dramatically increase U.S. adoption. They highlight that the appeal of EVs is driven more by performance and innovation than environmental concerns. Drawing parallels to the influx of Japanese cars in the 1980s, they note that Chinese EVs are already booming in regions like Europe and Latin America and could do the same in the U.S. if trade restrictions were eased.
