Ford CEO Says Europe Is Lost To Chinese Electric Vehicles
Ford CEO Jim Farley says Washington should take the “time to be considerate” before allowing Chinese automakers to sell their highly sought-after electric vehicles in the United States. “I watch what’s happening in Europe right now, where that was not the case and it’s really something that they have to deal with now, and it’s too late,” Farley said at the Automotive News Congress in Detroit earlier this week, per CNBC. As American automakers largely retreat from the industry, high-tech yet affordably priced Chinese EVs have been taking the world by storm.
