Brand New Electric Cars for $10,000 — But You Can’t Have One

⚡ Welcome back to Episode 2 of The End of Car Culture? In this video, I explore why you can get a brand-new EV in China for under $10,000… but here in Canada or the U.S., you’re stuck with $50K+ Teslas and SUVs. We’ll look at affordable EVs like the BYD Seagull, Wuling Mini EV, and Leapmotor T03, and I’ll break down exactly why we can’t get them here in North America — thanks to tariffs, politics, and protectionism. If you’ve ever felt priced out of EV ownership, this one’s for you. 💥 Topics Covered: What $10,000 EVs offer in China Why tariffs and politics block them in Canada & the U.S. Who loses when affordable EVs are kept out Why EVs have become luxury tech toys — and what we should be doing instead 📢 Don’t forget to subscribe for the next episode: What to Do Instead of Buying a Car in 2025 💬 Drop your thoughts below: Would you buy a $15K EV with 250 km range if it were available here? 👇 Need help choosing the right electric scooter?
