The author argues that the U.S. should stop fearing competition from Chinese electric vehicle makers and instead allow domestic consumers to buy them. The author criticizes the current tariffs imposed by the US government for protecting the American market from Chinese vehicles. This strategy protected U.K. carmakers from low-priced Chinese competitors and allowed U.M. makers to develop lower-priced products that appeal to more consumers.

Ramstad argues that consumers should have the option to buy cheaper and more quickly than current Chinese cars. However, the author acknowledges that current tariff barriers against Chinese cars cannot last.
