There are already huge arbitrary tariffs on these. That's why you can't get one in the US. The manufacturers don't even bother with our bullshit market.

That almost feels like a challenge. Probably going to have to replace my car in a decade or so (yes it is a Honda) so got plenty of time to figure out how to import an EV.

They're bound to come to the US eventually, certainly within the decade. Chinese auto makers have their hands full with Europe now, but they'll jump through a few hoops for the chance to squash the US market, too. Hopefully right on time for my next car, as well.
