Ecocharger + 1,474 DL July 14 On 7/5/2024 at 3:27 AM, Jeroen Goudswaard said: If a foreign government subsidizes their own industry, with the ultimate goal to squash the industry in your country where they export to, your can do two things. 1. Start subsidizing your own industry (e.g., "Invest in America Act"). 2. Start putting tariffs on the imports from that foreign government. The first option means that every tax payer in the country is subsidizing an industry. It also won't make your own industry internationally very competitive, because third countries will start taxing your exports again. The good thing is that it creates jobs. However, does the USA need more jobs? Maybe locally, but in many places, there are already too few hands to do the work. The second option only affects the buyers of the product that is being dumped. The general tax payer is better off. Be it solar panels or cars, China has seen tariffs on them. What this policy might do is to force the foreign entity to start producing in your country. You get all the benefits of option 1, without spending tax money on subsidies. Tariffs trump subsidies any day: the WTO agrees with this view. The WTO agrees? The WTO was set up to reduce tariffs for solid good reasons. Tariffs always reduce the value of national product and consumer well being. Always.

Your own article is saying the likely scenario is a y-o-y growth of 21%!!! Can't you read??? You are referencing material that actually counters your argument! Are you still confused? Wow. Let's try again. I guess the full quote was too much for you to handle? "We think our bear scenario calling for a year-over-year decline in EV sales volume in 2024 has become more realistic given the three negative factors outlined above. We previously suggested that EV penetration could vary considerably under various conditions. Despite the current slowdown in EVs, our base-case scenario still calls for EV sales volume to rise 21% year-over-year in 2024. But under our bear-case scenario, we see EV sales volume declining 2% year-over-year, and negative growth would likely result in oversupply across the EV supply chain."

Perhaps they mean that there will be 21% growth in 2024 and 2% less of that in 2025 and each year thereafter. Also remember, all these numbers are just guesses are not actually right. So it would go +21%, +19%, +17%, +15%, ... So yes slower growth but still significant growth even after several years. Pretty hard to get that kind of growth from any other industry.

Tariffs always reduce the value of national product and consumer well being. Always. WTO | Anti-dumping - Gateway If a company exports a product at a price lower than the price it normally charges on its own home market, it is said to be “dumping” the product. The WTO Agreement does not regulate the actions of companies engaged in “dumping”. Its focus is on how governments can or cannot react to dumping — it disciplines anti-dumping actions, and it is often called the “Anti-dumping Agreement”. Subsidies and countervailing measures This agreement does two things: it disciplines the use of subsidies, and it regulates the actions countries can take to counter the effects of subsidies. It says a country can use the WTO’s dispute settlement procedure to seek the withdrawal of the subsidy or the removal of its adverse effects. Or the country can launch its own investigation and ultimately charge extra duty (known as “countervailing duty”) on subsidized imports that are found to be hurting domestic producers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doing "the right thing" is very different for each and every country. That's how wars start. Or trade wars for that matter. The piece of paper is there to agree on what is acceptable and what not. Without that piece of paper, every trade block is on their own. Biggest dog wins. And you can be sure that the outcome is never a win-win. A tariff on dumping could protect the local production capability. However, the Trump-Biden tariffs of $80 billion pa are among others on things like semiconductors, natural graphite, magnets, cranes, and solar cells. Stuff that the USA does not even make itself. Essentially a tax on the people of the USA, rather than a punishment of China for dumping. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecocharger + 1,474 DL July 19 Ford has now scrapped its plans for an EV expansion project and replaced it with plans to expand fossil fuel vehicles. The EV revolution is over before it ever really took off. This is not a surprise, given the foolish ideas which fueled the nonsense in the first place. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/18/ford-canada-large-truck-production.html "Ford Motor will expand production of its large Super Duty trucks to a Canadian plant that was previously set to be converted into an all-electric vehicle hub. The new plans include investing about $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, Ford said Thursday. Ford said the Canadian plant, which is expected to come online in 2026, will add annual capacity of roughly 100,000 units of the highly profitable pickups." "Ford Motor will expand production of its large Super Duty trucks to a Canadian plant that was previously set to be converted into an all-electric vehicle hub. The new plans include investing about $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, Ford said Thursday. The remaining investment will be used to increase production at supporting facilities in the U.S. and Canada, the company said. Ford currently produces Super Duty trucks – the larger siblings of the F-150 full-size pickup used largely by commercial and business customers – at plants in Ohio and Kentucky. Ford said the Canadian plant, which is expected to come online in 2026, will add capacity of roughly 100,000 units annually. “Super Duty is a vital tool for businesses and people around the world and, even with our Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant running flat out, we can’t meet the demand,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said in a release. “This move benefits our customers and supercharges our Ford Pro commercial business.” Investors responded favorably to the news, sending Ford stock to a new 52-week high before shares leveled off later in the day amid a broader market decline."

Jan 25, 2024 China is now investing huge money into developing a new generation of fossil fuel cars for the masses. Great. China is ramping up coal production, great again. Things are looking up. "As of the end of June, the number of new energy vehicles in China reached 24.72 million, of which 18.134 million were pure electric vehicles. In the first half of the year, 4.397 million new energy vehicles were registered, a year-on-year increase of 39.41%." In the first half of 2024 there were 16.8 million new sales of which 4.3 were new vehicle (including hybrids). That is about 25% of the new market. Not anywhere near 60%. Plugin EVs would be about 75% of that, or about 20% of the new market. The last time I looked, 20% is much less than 60%. And of the total vehicle fleet and market only about 4.1%. That means about 96% of the total Chinese vehicle fleet is fossil fuel. And well over 99% of the transport sector is fossil fuel. China is developing a new generation of fossil fuel vehicles to allow the masses to possess personal transportation. The EV revolution is dead in the water before it ever really got going.
