    They’re oversaturating the market with low-quality products. This can be a significant problem when there are safety implications.

      Why can’t they just certify cars based on safety and ban unsafe ones instead of blanket ban the entire segment of them. It certainly helps the adoption of EV among masses.

        This is what the NHTSA has done since its formation in 1970.

      I’m sorry but this argument doesn’t make sense. Don’t you have safety rules in the US? If the Chinese cars aren’t safe to drive nobody should be authorized to drive them in the first place. If they are safe, no need for tariffs then.

      This decision has absolutely nothing to do with alleged poor manufacturing quality. It’s protectionism, pure and simple.

      The Chinese cars are probably much safer on the road then the huge pedestrian killing machines built by US manufacturers.
