That's kinda my point. In USA the price of solar has always been expensive. It's now really cheap. Just not in USA. China made it affordable. USA made it expensive again.

Same thing with EVs.

What happens when people in America find out how much sunshine costs?

I suspect around when that happens interest in battery powered cars will increase.

There's also no question that, for now, gasoline cars are selling better in second-tier markets, such as Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa, with scarce EV-charging infrastructure.

Longer term, Beijing aims to dominate EVs and plug-in hybrids globally. But in the interim, many Chinese automakers are building overseas brands by giving customers whatever they want.
