    It’s pretty interesting to look at the options of Chinese EVs for the price. Even considering that it could cost up to $3k to ship a car from China to the USA privately, and the 27% tariff, it’s still pretty damn cheap compared to most EV options in the USA. You could possibly have a brand new electric SUV for about $12k

      Not a chance. Donut media tried to purchase one of those 2k$ electric trucks from China. The fees associated with shipping it here brought the price north of 10k if I recall correctly. I’ll search for it and come back.

      Pretty sure they’re not approved by DOT/NHTSA, so there’s not really a way to register them for public road use.
