So what do we do?

Because because most people listening to us have never considered this topic.

But cars are obviously a huge part of the American economy as far as both a sales point of view and a consumer point of view.

We're in an existential economic struggle with China and they're killing us in an area that it doesn't seem we're doing much to counteract.

So what could the government do?

What could industry do to try to make this a little bit more of a fair fight?

Why not?

Why shouldn't the government make the case, the president make the case to Congress and say, we have to compete with the Chinese.

We're going to have to spend money doing what they do and subsidizing the industry.

He could, but he's chosen not to.

But do you think the American people – do you think that's – forget what the public would want.

Do you think that's a national security and economic imperative to – we have to compete with China in EVs, and that's the only way to do it?

Do you drive an EV?

Right.

Because they're better for the environment?

Why are they better?

Right.

What is it?

How easy is it, depending on where you live, to charge an EV now?

How much infrastructure has been built?
