    i’m not sure heavy subsidization would work the same way in the US. We’ve already seen EV manufacturers adjust their prices based on available tax credits, so i feel like they’d just raise prices even more as subsidies increase. in china the govt can ensure this doesn’t happen.

      Why should US gov not be able to force prizes below a curtain threshold? They just have to vote in the gov, but they can. Not?

        It’s not a matter of should or could, it’s just not something that’s going to happen. The vast majority of Americans don’t want the government directly meddling with business models to that degree.
