They might not pass inspection, I don’t know. But that’s only in states with inspections. Not all states have those.
They still have regulations and certain standards need to be met. I think it's set by the NHTSA.
Unless they're over 25 years old. But then there's state laws for that too. I just want my kei truck.
The seagull ev being discussed is not 25 years old.
Any new vehicle sold in the US needs to pass NHTSA standards. We're not talking about emissions testing.
Would it not? I don’t know anything about that, so I can’t say, but would Biden be cracking down on imports if it wasn’t a concern for them?
I would say no at the prices they're selling for in China. The crackdown is due to the massive subsidies being pumped into these manufacturers by the Chinese government which would make it impossible for any other manufacturer to compete with them since they're selling them below cost.
Where as the States with no inspection are impoverished shit holes, I stand by my, 'no threat'.
California is the largest economy in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. It’s also the one with the largest market for EVs in the US. As an added bonus, it’s very conveniently positioned on the west coast, with easy access to shipping lanes from China. And finally, it’s probably the state that’s least likely to care if a US auto maker on the other side of the nation is struggling. Only fifteen states in the US require inspections, and California isn’t one of them. In fact, the only state that isn’t on the east coast that requires an inspection is Texas. All other states have nothing but emissions tests, if that, and any EV would be excluded from those, for obvious reasons.
You don't live in reality.
That would include Michigan, which is where they design a lot of US domestic cars.
