The batteries could be imported from China.

Or maybe the whole car could be imported.

You could have a cheap EV in America with a stroke of a pen. Thats kind of the point of the article. I mean maybe not on purpose.

It would have to be significantly cheaper than the credit. That might be very hard to come by.

You also have to accept that many people will go out of their way for tax credits, even if they are literally losing money to get it.
