Considering the quality of Chinese EVs lately, we don’t even need to do tariffs. Just force random safety testing on them and we can basically bar the entire line. Simply include proper collision simulations and battery safety tests. These EVs already spontaneously combust in transit and there’s already been several container ships that’s gone up because of them.
Such tests can be universal and will help maintain local production quality as well.
Possibly. I don’t follow automakers generally, but I really wonder if you can be worse than cars with batteries that spontaneously combust while parked, or cars with batteries that are entirely unshielded and placed lower than the axel and fenders, making it the first thing to be hit by any debris on the road.

If we’re gonna talk about safety and reliability, GM would probably be one of the worst performers in that test.
