Four years after the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA), Mexico and the U.S. face the prospect of cheap Chinese electric vehicles dominating a fast-growing market and undermining GM, Ford, and Tesla.
None of those are Chinese EVs. I was pointing out that the “anique import loophole” doesn’t apply to Chinese EVs (at least for another couple decades).
I think you missed the point again. That’s only 2 years old. They need to be 25+ to be easily imported into the US. Otherwise you’ll pay tariffs and they’d be subjected to the same safety tests required for new vehicles sold in America. It’s only because they’re 25+ years old that they aren’t subjected to the standard rules on imports.
That’s fair, it probably wouldn’t be importable (until 2047) since it likely wouldn’t pass the fmv safety tests. I just wanted to stress that the loophole that allows them to be imported requires the vehicle to be 25+ years old.
They sure look cheap to me:

Sorry, missed the EV part. True, although there is a Japanese kei EV.
Not sure if you can import it or what the price is though.

That would be why I said I wasn’t sure if you could import it.
