Peter Alexander Z-Ben Advisors EV costs

Peter Alexander, running Z-Ben Advisors from inside China, reports charging his electric vehicle for a week costs about seven dollars. His sister in Florida shared an image of a fuel fill-up exceeding $100. Washington has not allowed Chinese cars into the US market. The Iran war has triggered demand for Chinese electric vehicles, solar products, and batteries in Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia. Beijing does not require the American market to succeed. As Brandon J. Weichert (WeTheBrandon) notes, the United States has stated it understands the situation but remains unconcerned about allowing Chinese cars. Each month of conflict makes it increasingly difficult to prevent cheap Chinese cars from entering markets. The question remains whether Washington will develop competitive alternatives before voters prioritize fuel prices over tariffs.
