    What local car production? There is none in this country.

    I want a BEV car because I can charge it for free with the solar panels I already have on my roof. That benefits me - not China.

    As for Hydrogen… whatever advantages it has are irrelevant since nobody sells an affordable and practical hydrogen car. I’m sure hydrogen will be a viable option one day, but it’s not right now or in the near future.

      The goal is to eliminate all car companies that isn’t controlled by China.

      You don’t own any of the supply chain that provides the batteries and solar panels. The West barely makes solar panels because China’s strategy already succeeded.

      No one sold a BEV a dozen or so years ago. People are just complaining rather than pushing for change.
