China’s Cheap EVs Aren’t a Threat to Tesla, Ford, and GM. Here’s What Is.

China’s Cheap EVs Aren’t a Threat to Tesla, Ford, and GM. Here’s What Is.

It’s a cute little four-door hatchback that’s three feet shorter than Tesla Model Y. With its bright yellow paint job, the Seagull looks a little like a Minion from the back, even if it looks a tad grumpy from the front. A 100% import penalty will be placed on EVs like the hot-selling BYD Seagull, or the GAC AION S, while select batteries and battery components will be hit with a 25% levy. The penalties effectively block Chinese companies from bringing their cars to America and prompt U.S. auto makers to invest in domestic EV component manufacturers.
