I would vote for a presidency that is for free trade. Allow these companies to mature in the market. Though in this case the technology in US cars is extremely behind. I mean were only just getting LFP in cars, and while 800v that allows for super fast charging is markedly common over there, it is in only a few models here. I'm not getting why we're putting these companies under tariff, legacy doesn't have an EV industry with the capacity to scale affordable EV. A lack of innovation is also something to mention. It really shouldn't be considered a good thing when a 10 year old EV like the Bolt is a best seller. I wish the US legacy auto EV industry would either build a very basic aerodynamic economy EV with no tech nonsense for under 25k with 250 miles minimum or just leave it to Tesla and Chinese OEM. I mean all of them have abandoned the sedan and economy car market.. Why not let the Chinese have that market share if they can't build something comparable just put tariffs on Chinese SUV and trucks which is a segment that legacy auto can't stop building.
