It's not where the car manufactured that's important it's where it's designed.
Western car makers both in the US and Europe insist on making electric vehicles that are hugely high-end and out of the price range for most people. We need electric 5 seat hatchbacks.
The only moderately reasonable electric vehicle from a major Western manufacturer is the F-150 Lightning and that's not even available in Europe because frankly it's a stupid buy for Europeans.
This is absolutely about cars MADE in China.
There are lots of cheaper options in Europe now, and more coming all the time.
The new thing is that they are getting better range, because batteries are getting cheaper.
There are lots of excellent option around 30K EUR/USD.
And cars like the Renault 5 expected January are coming at just below 20,000.- EUR making it basically also 20k USD here in Denmark.
Currently there are a couple of options just below 22k EUR. But as stated more are coming.
USA has chosen politically to have less competition by adding 100%¤ import tax to cars from China. So of course prices are higher in USA.
