    No such thing.

    The $10k Chinese EV is only $10k in China. When localized for other markets, it’s much closer to the same price as all other EVs. Some of this is tariffs, but there’s a bunch of changes they need to make to meet safety requirements. Even the $15k Seagull they talk about in the article is expected to be the cheapest offering in Europe, eventually, and they’re aiming for 20k Euros, which is 30k CAD.
