    Fucking dumb policy, but inevitable given the US’ stance.

    North American leftist politicians:

    • Let’s ban all the cheap electric vehicles because consumers want to buy them too badly.

    Also North American leftist politicians:

    • WhY iSnT tHe Ev ReVoLuTiOn wOrKiNg?

    Subsidize North American manufacturers equally to Chinese ones and then let them fail if they can’t compete / intentionally keep trying to sabotage the EV market by only producing giant expensive EVs.

      The government needs to ban oversized vehicles as BYD is one of the few automakers still wanting to sell hatchbacks and sedans.

      What leftist politicians are in a position of power? Trudeau is on the right, he’s just comparatively further left than PP or Harper.
