Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I would mind less if the American auto industry was producing affordable lightweight EVs...
To that end, this means we would need to lower standards, use some forced labor, and increase taxes to increase subsidies in order to compete.
Republicans would shoot down the subsidies.
No it literally wouldn't. It's absolutely possible to produce smaller lightweight vehicles with the exact same standards. But unfortunately we've all been pushed towards larger vehicles. Simply because they make more money on them.
The push towards large vehicles was due to the fact that they used a truck chassis, and were exempt from safety and emissions requirements of a “car”
Not if it's electric (for emissions)
While true, the general cultural preference for larger vehicles will inherently carryover to when people are deciding what EV to buy.
I'd love a 2015 sized Ford ranger that's fully electric.
I want a 1995 ranger that's electric, those things were great
That would be great but there are 4 of us so the 3 person bench wouldn't work unfortunately.
If we're going old school, go old school. Oldest kid rides in the bed.
Plenty of room in the back
