It's for 3 reasons:

1) Security - worry about us being spied on by smart cars
2) Economics - it helps protect EV manufacturers in America, and those jobs etc.
3) Popularity - the tariffs which came in during the Trump presidency have bi-partisan support in Congress

Still, one could argue they artificially keep the price of EVs in the US higher than they could be.

What do you think?

As desperate as the US automobile industry's attempts to stop Japanese cars in the 80s.

According to who? Clickbaiters on Youtube?

EVs catching fire is an issue, but not an issue exclusive with Chinese EVs. Plenty of Teslas, VWs, Hyundais, Nissans also caught fire.

Chinese have so many models and individual sale number because it is almost disposable, better for a new one than to fix or recall any problem.

In another way, it is capitalist dream, buy and replace. Good products harm overall gains.

Sell by date is NOT the expiration date. It is a warranty date if the product is in its undamaged original packaging.

Stupid, if US manufacturers cant compete then thats on them. That and it benefits consumers and the environment far more if it brings more people to driving EVs.
