He’s likely to do this because all the EV sales in 2025 barely hit 6%. Assume these cheaply made cars will get half that market, so 3%. That’s only until people realize how bad they are.
In exchange, we sell China billions in crops they are no longer buying from US.
Before I get the achshully responses…no, EV sales are not limited by pricing because used EVs devalue badly because the used market is a fraction of a fraction of the total market. If costs were the barrier, the used market would be stronger.
And before some simp links to YouTubers reviewing Chinese cars, no auto review source mentions long term reliability, because that is not allowed by manufacturers allowing reviews. So they count cup holders and walk you through countless pointless gadgets that will all break.
A BYD model has a deployable drone for parking. Sure that will last.

Things break in all cars. Do you have any data to back up your claim of reduced reliability? Seems they’re doing just fine in Europe.
BYD e6 has been used as a taxi in Singapore for 7+ years.
