Reflecting on Trumps dilemma now that it is plain that the Bond Market has lost confidence in the ability of the US Government to finance its debt and the US dollar is on the skids putting an end to the notion that these are safe havens, it would make sense for the US to sign up to the Belt and Road initiative and take advantage of Chinese work ethics and engineering skills to get the US infrastructure up to scratch. And these electric vehicles make a lot of sense in cities that are prone to pollution due to internal combustion engines. Automation on assembly lines that operate in the dark for EVs makes it possible for the US to produce them at the sort of costs seen in China, as long as the price of power is competitive. Trump is aware that coal is still a cheap source of energy. One can go on using the same electrical grid rather than having to extend it to pick up intermittently available scraps of electrical energy. The Chinese are also very efficient producers of nuclear power stations.
No more free lunches at the expense of the rest of the world.
