The $20,000 Electric Car Americans Are Not Allowed to Buy

Описание: There is a $20,000 electric car that could dramatically lower the cost of living for millions of Americans.
It exists. It works. It’s already on the road in other countries.
But Americans are not allowed to buy it.
This video explains why.
In the United States, the average new car now costs over $48,000, with monthly payments that feel more like rent. Electric vehicles were supposed to fix this—lower maintenance, cheaper energy, simpler ownership. Instead, EVs arrived as luxury products with massive price tags.
Meanwhile, in China, electric cars are built as transportation, not status symbols.
Companies like BYD, Wuling, SAIC, Geely, and Chery are producing affordable electric vehicles that sell for $10,000–$25,000. These cars aren’t concepts or experiments—they’re everyday transportation used by millions.
So why can’t Americans buy them?
Officially, Chinese EVs aren’t banned in the U.S.
In reality, 100% tariffs, regulatory barriers, and tax credit exclusions make it mathematically impossible for a $20,000 EV to survive in the American market.

This video breaks down:
Why cars became debt instruments instead of transportation
How U.S. automakers shifted away from affordable vehicles
Why a truly cheap EV threatens the entire pricing system
Who tariffs actually protect—and who they don’t
Why this has less to do with safety and more to do with comparison
A $20,000 electric car doesn’t just change buying decisions.
It exposes uncomfortable questions about pricing, financing, and control.

If a reliable EV can be sold for $20,000…
why does yours cost $50,000?
This isn’t a story about technology.
It’s a story about incentives, economics, and who gets to decide what “affordable” means.
If this video made you see the auto industry differently, stay curious.
This is only one piece of a much larger system.
