So a Chinese EV imported into the US via Canada would have a 6.1% + 25% = 31% total tariff?

That's not too bad...

Imported cars into the US from Japan and the EU are tariffed at 15%, so given lower initial costs, Chinese-via-Canada cars should be competitive.

That’s not how it works, those tariffs are determined by country of production not the country of import. As far as I understand Chinese made EVs would still be tariffed at the 100% rate in the US.
