Yeah, I don’t understand the huge tariff on Chinese EVs. They’ve counter tariffed our canola, hurting the farmers. And we don’t produce EVs, at least not the category they make.
In Europe we do produce EV, so tariffs make sense considering BYD and similar cars price are due to heavy CCP subsidies (direct and indirect). Sure the labor is cheap there, but not enough to sell cars that low.
You got batteries sold way under manufacturing price, but only for cars build by Chinese manufacturer (foreign manufacturers never get such discounts), you got various subsidies and payment facilities, unrestricted access to China rare earth monopoly, among other schemes.
Hopefully we can buy them in Canada soon.
