This makes the most sense. Sell them here. Built elsewhere? Tax the shit out of them. You can avoid the tax by creating American jobs and having them manufactured here.
That's what the chicken tax is/was. This is just a tax on EVs made by Chinese companies. It's pretty ridiculous.
Yes, why not? They aren't prohibited, they're just being given a disadvantage compared to American made vehicles being sold in America. A tax for notoriously poor labor standards, we can call it. If they want to use a union shop somewhere in middle America they can avoid that tax altogether.
If I misunderstood you please correct me.
That's literally in the textbooks as the kind of thing you're not supposed to do. If you keep protecting US companies they will never get better. Prices will never come down.
