When evaluating the "big picture" of the Global Elites and how They are running the world, almost all people (who make any evaluation of the situation in the first place) are still working under a fundamental premise that is now an almost entirely false.
That is, they are still thinking in terms of "tax cattle" and "exploitation of the masses" and other similar ideas. Most particularly, the defining characteristic the flow of resources to the Elites. The main idea is for the rich to make themselves richer.
The situation has clearly changed dramatically over the past few years but conspiracy theorists don't seem to have caught up to it. The key characteristic now is the flow of resources away from the population. The main idea is for everyone to get poor, and then get poorer. What happens with the Elites is nearly irrelevant.
This particular situation is like other previous ones. People will look for the angle of how the corrupt Elites are scamming the public to make money. They know that's the case, so they will find the mechanism.
You can refer, though, to numerous other vehicles all around the world that are somehow not for sale in the United States, everything from 125cc motorbikes to small utility vehicles to turbodiesel sedans. They'll justify the import bans with safety or emissions or whatever, but who could possibly believe They care about such things? These vehicles are more efficient, cleaner, cheaper, etc, but most crucially, many people would want to buy them.
So why are the capitalist Elites, for whom too much is never enough, not selling those vehicles to you to make another buck? That's because the Real Elites, the ones who actually run the world, know that you are worse off without them.
EVs in general don't seem like a good option for affordable travel, and being made in China just makes it that much much more worse and dangerous.
It should be illegal to charge those things on electricity not produced by wind turbine or solar panel. If I lived in an area that had electric car charging stations, I would regularly walk through and unplug them all.
I see what you're saying, and I've never lived in a large city so there's likely aspects of that life I'm unaware of. The concept does make more sense in a limited city setting, but it doesn't make as much sense as cheap public transportation. For instance, cable car trams were reliable and relatively cheap from what I've heard.
At least that's my opinion - again never lived in a big city and I could easily be wrong. I'm sure local population demographics and police presence factor into the feasibility of safe public transportation, so it may be less possible than I think.
Public transportation only works with a high trust homogenous population. public transportation in America is fucked because of the demographics we have.
Electric cars for local short trips is an awesome option if the price is right. I just don't want anyone trying to force me into it. Locally, we are starting to see more golf carts in the neighborhoods and back routes into the grocery store.
Fuck our fake administration, but... I am 100% for taxing the shit out of anything that comes from a communist country.

These should be heavilly tariffed.
