I wonder how repairable and maintainable these will be as compared to EV's from other markets and if replacement batteries will be available as the original ones reach the end of their useful life.

If these concerns end up being valid, and the tariffs are large enough that these cars aren't priced particularly competitively, that'd be enough for this EV consumer to pass it up for his next vehicle. Will be interested to see how it plays out.

Edit: Wanted to say I'm not against Chinese EV's. If it ends up making sense to get one, I will.

Hmm yes true capitalism. Shun those you can't compete with

Car makers can't be bothered to compete so they lobbied (bribed) the government to just ban the competition.
