Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

To undercut everyone else….. to accomplish what? Come on, you’re almost there.
To gain global leverage on other nations. They're looking to replace the US as THE next dominant nation in the world. They want power.
You seem to want me to say money. No. Money is nothing but a number in a spreadsheet to a nation with its own fiat currency. They don't care about money. China isn't a capitalist nation in the way we know it. They recognize that money is inherently meaningless. Resources are what matter. Control of resources is Real power.
Dude…. That’s literally what the U.S. is doing with their subsidies. Why the fuck do you think we sell fords in China, where they don’t care about trucks at all. That extension of power is literally exactly what the U.S. has done for a century, hence all the issues we’re seeing right now.
Everyone get upset when China acts like the US, but without the military invasions.
Then why do fancy Fords cost $80k and not $40k or less?
If the government is guaranteeing them money per-vehicle built, why aren't there massive lots flooded with a millions of unsold Fords? That's what's happening in China.
The US was replaced a decade ago.
