this would be a very bad thing actually. Not buying Chinese-made products may be the 2nd most important thing you can do besides reducing the amount of fossil fuels you consume.

The comment above about not buying Chinese cars is laughable. The same thing was said about German, Japanese, Korean and French. Of all the silly reasons! You’re already buying Chinese products and don’t even know it. The American car companies for so long have been shooting themselves in the foot with high prices for poor quality. This is the result. Hopefully, Obama will have American companies retool so we don’t have to go to China. But if not, electric cars will have to come from somewhere.

Looks like we have serious competition now! The Chinese can use mandates for EVs easily because its a communist country. They did it for CNG taxi cabs.

That is a very big assumption. I know a lot of people would never drive a chinese car. Personally I would not consider it.

Given that everything Buffet touches turns to gold this is a good sign for the EV car industry I’d say.

If they can pull off a plug in for 20k there should be a huge demand for that. Assuming the American public will go for a Chinese car that is…
