I mean, we are with tax credits if they meet certain requirements like assembly in North America, etc.
Which I don't think really any of them do yet.
But the whole situation is fucked. We should have been doing this properly 20 years ago.
sure they do.

Bolts for example qualify and are relatively affordable.
Love my Bolt. Naturally it was discontinued :)
Relatively affordable at twice the price and then some of the cheapest Chinese ev. But sure.
I was addressing your assertion that none qualify for tax credits, which is wrong. but if you want to compare the prices to Chinese EVs, NA EVs aren't produced in china. part of the price is developing production here in the US, which we want to do.
You also have the option of getting a used EV with a smaller tax credit, which is what I did.
