The European Commission will launch an anti-subsidy investigation against Chinese automakers, which may result in higher import duties on electric vehicles.
I’m sorry, but by limiting my access to good, cheap EVs you’re not going to win my vote.
I do not care about BMW, or Volkswagen, or some other European company producing really expensive, shitty EVs just so that we keep buying combustion engine cars, so that they can force us to keep using fossil fuels and buy their shitty expensive spare parts that always break (parts which EVs generally don’t have).
I’m sorry, but my biggest worry right now is climate change, not keeping a couple of europe’s billionaires pockets stuffed with money. I truly do not care one bit about the billionaires that own the companies mentioned above. The european consumer should have access to a cheap alternative to combustion engine cars. This move exists only to protect the interests of the rich.
For all my life I’ve been hearing stories about how competition under capitalism breeds innovation. Yet when true competition appears, suddenly we start throwing the book at it. So am I supposed to buy an overpriced electric vehicle made in Europe just because our billionaires don’t see a reason yet to invest in EVs? Let them fight. Let competition come over here. Let’s see what this business is all about.
How about we let the chinese sell their EVs here?
