Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

They're saying that US vehicles are also government subsidized, they just pocketed the money instead of actually improving their products. So comparing the Chinese products to the US ones isn't unfair, the US products really are that bad and they deserve to fail.

Chinese are much cheaper and probably more advanced in many ways. If they are both subsidized ( and I didn't say they are not), doesn't help either of them.
