Chinese products have some huge drawbacks. With abysmal build quality, woefully insufficient range, DOT required safety standards failures, and ergonomically poor interior design, most North Americans will likely reject Chinese cars. They are simply not ready either.

The few cars like Tesla or Lightning that do appeal to Americans, even under current negative market conditions, are thus far prohibitively expensive. This is because the technologies used are uniquely cutting edge. Realistic distribution infrastructure for recharging during prolonged driving does not yet exist. Before that can happen, proven efficient lighter smaller battery technology standards at am adequate uniform voltage need national adoption and approval. Of course, there is no problem if everyone would just take short trips without their GPS, surround sound, ac, heat, lights, power windows, locks, mirrors (get the picture).

Lastly, about half the states vehicle dealer laws prohibit big box retailers like Wal-Mart or Costco from selling vehicles for operating on public roadways. Licensing and registration requirements, not to mention service, warranty, smog, safety, and consumer disclosure rights and laws governing that protection make self propelled vehicle sales for public use impossibly difficult for big box retailers.

There is no question that electric vehicles are coming. Not yet… but soon. There is not and never was a conspiracy to keep them from the public. There have been prior attempts to market them in the past, but because of significant design deficiencies, the public resoundingly rejected them. For now, be patient and keep up the pressure.
