The article laments that we are cut off from the $22K BYD Dolphin Surf, but completely ignores why.

Policymakers want us to adopt electric cars, but they also want to protect domestic industries from competition. The result is entirely predictable. The American consumer is forced to pay more for fewer choices.

If you want mass adoption, you cannot artificially restrict the supply of affordable vehicles and then act surprised when people stick with what they know.
