Here it is, in LA TIMES, following recent news articles about China's big leap forward into the EV market:
China tariffs will slow transition to EVs in U.S.
So much for the ideological drumbeat about "free markets". First, it's all about free markets, then -- it's about total protectionism, and the closer you get to Trump, the more protectionist it is.
Maybe I'd LIKE to pay $11,000 for a Chinese EV.
But it looks as though I can best afford now to get a 4-year-old RAV4 Hybrid for maybe $25,000.
And here is something for you, Youngsters. Back in 1978, with the ascendancy of the Honda CIVIC 1200 and CVCC 1500, Lee Iacocca was whining on TV and media that "The Japanese are DUMPING cars on the US market!"
