Trade barriers on Chinese EVs a 'big trap', says Stellantis CEO

Placing 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese cars, as the United States has just done, is a “huge trap”, the head of the Stellantis automobile group said yesterday.

“When you put a bubble around a market, whether it is the American market or the European market, the first thing you do is create massive inflation within the bubble,” said Carlos Tavares, whose group includes brands from France (Peugeot, Citroen), Italy (Fiat, Alfa Romeo) and the United States (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep).

“And when you create inflation, you hurt the purchasing power of the middle class and you accentuate the technological gap between those within the bubble and those outside who are busy conquering the world,” he said in an interview on French television....

Gen Z Americans Are Much More Open To Chinese EVs Than You Think: Study

Automotive research firm AutoPacific has shared some enlightening information that could go against (or confirm, depending on your views) how Americans feel about Chinese electric cars. The group found that Americans are pretty open to Chinese EVs—especially if they’re younger buyers.

Still, that number skyrockets to a whopping 76% when we only look at the data for buyers below the age of 40. Millennials and Gen Z are very much open to a Chinese-branded EV.

“AutoPacific research has shown a main reason many Americans are hesitant towards EVs is purchase price, and Chinese-brand EVs could potentially offer appealing EV products that could generate excitement for EVs at much more affordable price points,” Kim said. "For cash-strapped young people, a reasonably priced and feature-packed EV would be just what they’re looking for.

One thing for sure is both Bidennand Trump incidentally the oldest Presidents in the recent years will go down in history for reviving a 100 year old measure of imposing such tarif (No, it did not start with Japanese, it started against Germans)
