agreed, also, what is with all these articles written/submitted in favor of Chinese EVs in US? do they not know we are currently fighting an indirect war with China, with China supplying Russia's invasion against Europe being supplied by US? do they not know China is basically the backer for Houthi, Iran, North Korea, and Russia?
- grandma_tea 3y agoI didn't read the whole article because of the paywall, but I was taking it from the angle of "why can't we encourage this kind of development in America?" As opposed to "we should import Chinese cars." I am frustrated by it because I feel like we could be doing better. I mean, the best thing would be to invest in public transport but I would also be happy with more cheap car offerings.
- ralph84 3y agoThe answer to “why can’t we do things China does” is we decided a long time ago that we value environmental and worker protection more than China does.
- CharlieDigital 3y agoI don't see how China focusing on building EV cars is somehow weakening worker protections or damaging the environment more than building ICE cars. They have issues, but none of that is related to the topic of the article.
- dragonmost 3y agoYou can sell your cars much cheaper if you barely pay the workers and don't invest in safety equipment.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoThis question has been investigated fairly thoroughly for PV solar and scale of manufacturing and government support are far bigger factors. Remember PV and EV are technology, getting smaller, cheaper, better as it iterates.
- defrost 3y agoWith any luck the Nordic sympathy strikes will sort out the pay and safety issues.
- snowpid 3y agoUS doesnt have strong "value environmental and worker protection". Btw, are there more EV in Europe btw?
- aurareturn 3y agoagreed, also, what is with all these articles written/submitted in favor of Chinese EVs in US? do they not know we are currently fighting an indirect war with China, with China supplying Russia's invasion against Europe being supplied by US? do they not know China is basically the backer for Houthi, Iran, North Korea, and Russia? A single article that doesn't portray China negatively in the US media and people are going crazy.
- matthewdgreen 3y agoChina is kicking our ass in the technologies of the future (batteries, EV, renewable energy, nuclear.) If you believe China is a threat, then you should absolutely be reading articles like this one. Historically the US won wars by leading in the manufacture of this tech, and we should be fully aware of the consequences of losing that edge. It’s still not too late for us to do something about it.
