#chinaevtariffs

The U.S. government recently announced severe tariffs on Chinese-built vehicles, reaching 100 percent in some cases. While some of the staggering number of Chinese automakers have expressed no interest in selling here, some of the United States’ more recognizable auto brands are owned by companies in the country, including Volvo and Polestar. Both are owned by Geely, a Chinese corporation, but to get around tariffs on the upcoming Polestar 3, the automaker has moved production of the electric SUV to Volvo’s factory in South Carolina.
