They don't have the only affordable EVs, they have the CHEAPEST. There's a big difference.

I know it's hard to imagine what it's like, but when somebody is poor then "cheapest" = "only"

I can afford chinese EVs that go for 10-12k

I can't afford a 35-60k tesla, or would buy one on principal.

That's why this slows the world's transition to EVs.
