Thank you! So many people don't realize that both mining for resources used in e-vehicles and the disposing of them is extremely detrimental to the environment!
YES! No one wants to address this! Until we have the infrastructure in place and a way to make the batteries longer lasting and safer. What is the point?! The grid system in the US cant even get through a hot summer or a cold winter!
You're assuming that the batteries will survive until they stop working. It's quite likely that they will catch fire and spray their toxic material into the environment (while also burning down your house).
Depends who you talk to Jacob. 💁🏻♂️😃 If there is enough investment to recycle batteries, which some companies manufacturing EV batteries have already commenced to doing then it would certainly be far better than having to dig up new oil for gasoline or digging up cadmium and nickel for traditional alkaline batteries used in gasoline powered engines. Plus, we can save on platinum that’s needed for catalytic converters (thus more of that platinum can go to great use for patients needing higher supply and thus lower cost chemotherapy treatments and other medicines that use platinum particles). If applied correctly then those negatives can be canceled out.
Whatever happened to the "Free Market"? Why can't America compete with China without tariffs? It's almost as if capitalism doesn't work unless it's authoritarian to benefit the US oligarchs. 🤔
I would also add that the biggest benefit of imported Chinese goods is the US consumer and the US companies that manufacture their goods in China. Most Apple phones are made in China, they sell for roughly $1000, China probably make less than $5 per phone.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who assumed office in 2012, set an ambitious goal of lifting the remaining 100 million people out of poverty (BBC). According to the World Bank, over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day - the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty- has fallen by close to 800 million. By 2012, the number of people in China living below the international poverty line had fallen to fewer than 90 million, and by 2016, it had fallen to 7.2 million people (0.5% of the population), BBC. By the end of 2020, the final 98.99 million impoverished rural residents in China had all been lifted out of poverty. All 832 impoverished counties and 128,000 villages had been removed from the poverty list.
Bri don't you know cobalt for those ev batteries is mined by children in the Congo. To their death, they mine it. Bri, why do you hate Congolese children?
I mean, you're contributing to the problem as well, your TV, phone, PC screen, keyboards, mouse. Anything with integrated circuits, jewelry, drills, all contain cobalt.
Crazy thought, but stay with me. Chinese EVs have a lower sale price because manufacturing costs are 40% lower than in the U.S. Go ahead and blame greedy U.S. automakers for focusing on luxury EVs or poo poo tariffs that make imports more expensive for consumers and protect U.S. industry & unionized workers, but that won’t change the facts. China has a competitive advantage from: $29 billion in corporate subsidies & tax breaks; forced/repressed labor & wages; LFB battery production; rare metal mining controls, and largest refining capacity. Even if the U.S. was a state-capitalist economic system that was able to take sweeping industry wide action today, we are two decades behind. Buy an American EV if you can afford one. If not, buy a Chinese EV. Just don’t pretend like we are going to even the playing field.
Robbie doesn't seem to understand that there is no alternative to China, at least not at scale. Hundreds of companies have tried in the past to diversify away from China as a political risk management measure, AKA "de-risking". But it's rarely ever worked. Even if they move their operations to lower cost countries like Mexico where wages are less than 1/3rd of those in China, their overall production cost still ends up being higher. Wages just aren't a large portion of the cost of production for most complex consumer goods. For a smartphone, the cost of labor represents less than 5%.
Bri generally doesn't understand economics and that its not that Chinese EV's are luxury focused BUT cost less to manufacture because of Govt regulation.
@@vicnighthorse It was more a response to Robby. He said a few times, "We can't make everything here." That's unreasonable. Why can't we? It would create jobs but more importantly, we would be self-sufficient. By outsourcing everything to be made overseas by our geopolitical enemies, the elites in the federal government have put us in a precarious position.
@@AstralAquarium My point was that if that is what you (and or I) want you (and or I) should do it yourself'ourself, even if just being a small part of it, rather than wishing other people invested there time and resources into efforts that benefit them little. Your efforts may not yield much, but they will reveal to you why others don't do it. There are many reasons like the law of comparative advantage which is a natural law and not a man made one. Also environmental regulation here that is not imposed on products from other countries has have much lesser restraints. The US just outsources a lot of it's environmental damage and that gives another advantage foreign production. Those living in the '70s - '00s would have been materially poorer had the US endeavored to make everything in the US.
The Problem is can America actually produce any of these very needed resources. The U.S. Gov't needs to spend into the Economy to create these Industries or in some cases recreate these industries before tariffs even make sense. Tax Credits don't create Industries either, they just incentivize the existing industry, which in America these Industries don't really exist at scale and scope anymore or in some cases ever.
Bri knows nothing of how China makes "cheaper" EVs. The Chinese government subsidizes their companies, which produce their EVs with government funds along with cheaper labor. In truth, it still costs quite a bit more to make an EV than a conventional car. The only reason China can sell theirs cheaper is because of their government. Our government is also subsidizing the EV market. No consumer is actually paying the true cost of those vehicles based on natural supply and demand and market values. Take out the government, and you'll realize very few ordinary citizens could actually afford them, and their break-even at carbon emissions is about 10 years as opposed to a gas vehicle.
Our government subsidizes plenty of industries, including banking, auto, airlines so that's not a valid reason on why China shouldnt be doing it or why costs are cheaper. Another factor is china controls much of the supply chain, from raw materials to parts, assembly, end product.
@@aliciacline08 There is a big difference between subsidizing based on tax funds versus subsidizing with tax funds and cheap labor. I never said the US doesn't subsidize industries.
Not only is Biden making it more expensive to purchase affordable ev's the cost to maintain and operate an ev is not cheap. If you live in areas where electricity is extremely expensive it's not an option. Imagine only having an ev and you were in Texas when they were charging hundred to thousands for electricity.
The government is jacking up the price of imported EVs and pocketing the difference. If it is doing this to help the domestic car manufacturers, are they willing to help us? EVs would be cheaper if the manufacturers take a smaller profit margin.
So where is the Chinese government getting all of this money that allows them to heavily subsidize everything? I haven't heard about them running up trillion dollar deficits every year. Have they invented currency printing presses that don't create massive amounts of inflation as a bi-product?
Americans won't buy the $10k EV cars. Have you seen them? There is a reason they cost that much. You can get a nice used ICE car for that same amount and actually fit a family inside it.
THE main reason for expensive American cars is price-gouging. As was evidenced by profit levels so high that line workers revolted demanding and subsequently getting raises. Bri doesn't know what she's talking about. BYD makes perfectly decent $12k electric cars because all parts are made in-house. No subcontracting of plastics, glass, electronics, or really anything else other than tires.
EVs don't sell because they're not actually green and are garbage. Let alone all the weird software they're putting in them and various battery problems. What they need to do is finish developing synthetic fuel
About some of the tariffs that's a band aid. China is the top in batteries and EV, not just because of cheap labor but intensive development. You still be forcing American use subpart products, if you buy from India or Europe in those segments.

There should be an increase tax! China is listed as a developmental country so are other considered for tax. Yet American goods are taxed at the highest rate. If US companies are building over seas and importing there should be a tax build it here. American cannot afford electric vehicles!

China are better at manufacturing than the US. 20 years ago their advantage was the volume of cheap labor, now it is an increasing number of educated people and massive efficiency gains within these industries. Their wage rates have increased significantly more than the rest of Asia yet they are still the cheapest manufacturers for semi and hi tech products.
@@ajnz2420these vehicles would not meet the minimum standards in the US for many current regulations. Safety being the biggest. Some plastics and psunts would not be allowed. This is not to say that these cars are bad, but having to meet regulatory standards adds costs to a car.
The US must re-industrialize to move from a make-believe, financialized based economy to one that actually makes products of value and provides solid, higher-wage jobs. Yellen just tried to tell China to slow their economy and stop making so many things to which Xi just laughed (and rightly so). Tariffs are not the only answer but they are an instrument along with US investment into building back manufacturing that could benefit US workers.
China not only make them cheap they make them reliable US make cheap, still twice as high you going to feel it, remember! Why going backwards in everything is not a good shratategy.
IT WOULD Drive up prices on Imports not domestic vehicles or not domestic product that would mean putting the US farmer add Industries first which would help the US citizen
This is the result of heavy lobbying by the legacy auto industry who have a vested interest in keeping Internal combustion engines going. By adopting that 'stalling' policy they allowed Chinese EV manufacturers and also Tesla to disrupt the market and take a big share of it leaving them lagging far behind. Now they have Biden to protect them from competition which means they have less incentive to innovate and change to full scale EV production. If the world was right the directors of those legacy auto manufacturers would have been shown the door long ago for their hubris and utter incompetence in the face of change that everyone knew was coming well in advance. Meanwhile the planet continues to heat up.
Domestic car manufacturer market doesnt need to be protected because soon jobs will be lost to automation/AI. Thus, we may as well embracy policy that allows for cheap international goods
The point being, charge China for things that is insignificant to our economy but not hold them to the agreement to not buy oils from those countries. So NEITHER one is holding China to accountability nor the things they have put tariffs on are even a big import into the US. So what damage is that doing to China. It's all for show.
Bri is like we don’t need nice things. Lol We just need an EV that’s not built great and we have to constantly spend money to fix it. 😂 Cars are expensive here because of Biden and his inflation!

I can tell you a couple reasons why EV's are so expensive. The one obvious reason is greed. US car manufacturers are making tons of profits by overcharging consumers. The second reason is the Chinese government heavily subsidizes their EV market. For some perspective, there were over 354,000 Teslas sold in the US in 2022. If the government subsidized $15,000 per Tesla, that would drop their lowest model down to $25,000. That would cost the US government about 5.3 billion dollars. I'm no anti-Israel person. I think it is unfair to hear all of this outrage over Israel's military response to the October terrorist attack without applying equal pressure to Hamas to release the hostages unconditionally. However, the US sends about 4.75 billion dollars to Israel yearly. I'm not saying we divert all of the Israeli aid to subsidize EVs. I'm just saying this country can come up with money for whatever cause the power brokers deem important.
Somebody tell Bri about excessive subsidies China is providing to EV production. Plus their incentive is dependent on the resources. US is an oil rich country, China is not.

Hows that Green New Deal Schmeal working out with tariffs of 50% of Solar panels and 100% on EVs? LOL🤣
Briahna doesn’t know China subsidizes cheaper competitors
There should be an increase tax! China is listed as a developmental country so are other considered for tax. Yet American goods are taxed at the highest rate. If US companies are building over seas and importing there should be a tax build it here. American cannot afford electric vehicles!
This dude is literally trying any and everything to win 😂😂😂😂
Why do cars, Ev or other cost more in the US than China. The answer is Federal Government Regulations.
no, the issue is tariffs and protectionism in the USA, the USA hates the free market unless its advantageous to them. Ford and GM is also failing in Europe, Japan, and China as well, who doesn't have the same regulation. They've been protected by big daddy for so long they forgot how to compete.
China are better at manufacturing than the US. 20 years ago their advantage was the volume of cheap labor, now it is an increasing number of educated people and massive efficiency gains within these industries. Their wage rates have increased significantly more than the rest of Asia yet they are still the cheapest manufacturers for semi and hi tech products.
@@ajnz2420these vehicles would not meet the minimum standards in the US for many current regulations. Safety being the biggest. Some plastics and psunts would not be allowed. This is not to say that these cars are bad, but having to meet regulatory standards adds costs to a car.
The US must re-industrialize to move from a make-believe, financialized based economy to one that actually makes products of value and provides solid, higher-wage jobs. Yellen just tried to tell China to slow their economy and stop making so many things to which Xi just laughed (and rightly so). Tariffs are not the only answer but they are an instrument along with US investment into building back manufacturing that could benefit US workers.
Well well well 😆 🤣
China not only make them cheap they make them reliable US make cheap, still twice as high you going to feel it, remember! Why going backwards in everything is not a good shratategy.
IT WOULD Drive up prices on Imports not domestic vehicles or not domestic product that would mean putting the US farmer add Industries first which would help the US citizen
This is the result of heavy lobbying by the legacy auto industry who have a vested interest in keeping Internal combustion engines going. By adopting that 'stalling' policy they allowed Chinese EV manufacturers and also Tesla to disrupt the market and take a big share of it leaving them lagging far behind. Now they have Biden to protect them from competition which means they have less incentive to innovate and change to full scale EV production. If the world was right the directors of those legacy auto manufacturers would have been shown the door long ago for their hubris and utter incompetence in the face of change that everyone knew was coming well in advance. Meanwhile the planet continues to heat up.
Domestic car manufacturer market doesnt need to be protected because soon jobs will be lost to automation/AI. Thus, we may as well embracy policy that allows for cheap international goods
Cheap labor is what Robbie is saying
It's funny biden really doesn't get it.
Autos cost more to be made in the US cause all the regulations and way higher wages! Ford is losing 100k per ev sold right now!
I bet that these tariffs don’t include Volvo, which is controlled by Geely Automotive in China
Joe was always supporting USA companies. In the chips act, Inflation Reduction Act, send arms to ukraine etc
Yeah just how many of those batteries are imported there is no demand. Why is nothing said to china about continuing to buy oil from iran and russia ?
Lol so we can tell other countries where to shop? 😂 must be a liberal
The point being, charge China for things that is insignificant to our economy but not hold them to the agreement to not buy oils from those countries. So NEITHER one is holding China to accountability nor the things they have put tariffs on are even a big import into the US. So what damage is that doing to China. It's all for show.
This is good EVs are bad for the environment
Small example of how biden was wrong on jusr about everything 😂. Proof is his reversal on many policies trump had and now biden supports 😂.
Bri is like we don’t need nice things. Lol We just need an EV that’s not built great and we have to constantly spend money to fix it. 😂 Cars are expensive here because of Biden and his inflation!
Small China EVs for 10gs is a good idea for cities, since none car go more than go more than 100mi range.
I am not against globalization but against this model of globalization. We should ask for the called comercial Quotas reposition that worked very well till 30 years ago. With this comercial business Quotas all multinacionais companies were obligated to diverse their production bettewn Ásia and Ocident. It was the best way to reduce CO2 global emissions and a better balance for economic grow for all parts
Greetings from Portugal and sorry my bad english.

I can tell you a couple reasons why EV's are so expensive. The one obvious reason is greed. US car manufacturers are making tons of profits by overcharging consumers. The second reason is the Chinese government heavily subsidizes their EV market. For some perspective, there were over 354,000 Teslas sold in the US in 2022. If the government subsidized $15,000 per Tesla, that would drop their lowest model down to $25,000. That would cost the US government about 5.3 billion dollars. I'm no anti-Israel person. I think it is unfair to hear all of this outrage over Israel's military response to the October terrorist attack without applying equal pressure to Hamas to release the hostages unconditionally. However, the US sends about 4.75 billion dollars to Israel yearly. I'm not saying we divert all of the Israeli aid to subsidize EVs. I'm just saying this country can come up with money for whatever cause the power brokers deem important.
God

Dumb and Dumber take your pick. 😂
Somebody tell Bri about excessive subsidies China is providing to EV production. Plus their incentive is dependent on the resources. US is an oil rich country, China is not.
Does the US not give subsidies for people to buy EV's? Is this not the same thing?
Glenn Greenwald China and Hungary Strengthen Relationship While US ...
Bcoz he’s playing for election 😅China Joe 😅
Elon musk may have seomthing to do with American uncompetitiveness in the EV market
All this ranting about changing your mind 🥱😴
