Many US companies are also losing money on EV sales. I think dumping is more specific than just losing money you have to be selling in foreign markets for lower prices than you charge locally.

Indeed:

> Dumping is, in general, a situation of international price discrimination, where the price of a product when sold in the importing country is less than the price of that product in the market of the exporting country.

Are they losing money on the incremental production, or not selling enough volume to cover development costs?
