Tariffs on China aren't the way to win the EV arms race – getting serious on EVs is in c/evs@lemmy.world

then raise prices when their competition is gone

It didn't occur in industries where China holds a strong presence, such as solar and other renewable energy equipment, or in lower-tech products available on platforms like AliExpress, Amazon, and eBay. So, why would it be different for electric vehicles (EVs)? Currently, the primary foreign competitor for EVs in China is Tesla, and prices for EVs are decreasing rapidly.

BYD electric vehicles are sold at a significantly higher profit margin in Europe compared to China.

Made in China Tesla's are better build then US made ones.

Also there are already many Chinese EVs sold around the world for quite some time with no known major recalls.

I've heard people using Chinese EVs in China saying that using them long term often is a pain because they're so poorly designed

Source for that claim?

Technically Volvo and polestar are Chinese owned brands selling made in China EVs in the US.

I don't think there will be more as the US will do protectionist measures if they or other Chinese EVs become too successful.

When Chinese manufacturers sell their EVs abroad at prices below production costs (dumping)

This is outright false considering EVs made in China are sold overseas at usually twice what it is sold in China.

For example the Kia EV5 is sold at $20k in China while the same made in China model is sold overseas Starting at $46k
