    Whose fault is it?

    Chinese EV manufacturers, on the other hand, are already five to 10 years ahead of their American and European rivals, Kumar said. A lot of that is thanks to aggressive investments in the EV industry from the Chinese government.

        Everyone does that though. My favourite is the original Xbox and everything from around the same time having notoriously bad capacitors because a faulty electrolyte formula was chain stolen.

      Yet US has incentives, mandates, and protectionism. Why aren’t US manufacturers 5-10 years ahead?

      From the average American’s perspective? Probably still China. China always bad. Always.

      Americans are also so lacking in moral consistency that they’ll throw their racism and xenophobia to the side just to save $1.

        On the other hand, so many things in America have become so expensive many people are priced out of the market. Perhaps they will save the $1.00 because if they don’t, it doesn’t happen. The average price of a new car in America is more than $47k. That’s a lot of money.
