Interesting to point out that the USMCA (NAFTA twisted by the previous administration) is making the ingress of Chines goods through Mexico easier than the original NAFTA agreement. The only way forward is to impose new tariffs and incentives, which began with the revised EV tax credit--it is only available on new and used EV's which meet a designated North American sourcing and manufacturing content by component. Batteries and the main components of the car need to be created within North America -- not imported for China. I expect stiffer tariffs and even more pointed incentives as time goes on.
Speaking of $15k-ish EV commuters, used Model 3's are going for about $20k and I'm not sure what used $26k MSRP Chevy Bolts are going for, but they're a decent and cheap little car with good range.
