Pro-Palestinian encampment at Dalhousie University - May 13, 2024 | SaltWire #news #halifax #protestDETROIT - The Biden administration's plan to slap heavy new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and batteries would provide temporary protection for U.S. auto jobs, potentially at the expense of White House efforts to fight climate change by accelerating U.S. EV adoption.
At present, four vehicle lines sold in the United States are made in China, according to government data: Ford's Lincoln Nautilus SUV, the Buick Envision SUV, the Polestar 2 and Volvo's S90 sedans. Polestar and Volvo are affiliates of Chinese automaker Geely. Even before Biden's action on Tuesday, electric vehicles had taken a central position in the U.S. presidential race. EVs are now symbolic in partisan debates over climate policy and how the U.S. should respond to China's efforts to dominate critical technologies in the 21st century.
Longer-term, Detroit automakers sheltered from Chinese competition could replay the experience of the 1970s and 1980s, when import restrictions on imported Japanese cars gave the domestic automakers a reprieve from low-priced rivals.
