General Motors CEO Mary Barra warns that a wave of low‑cost Chinese EVs entering North America could destabilize the market. Canada’s decision to allow up to 49,000 Chinese‑built EVs annually at reduced tariffs signals what she calls a slippery slope, putting pressure on Detroit automakers already struggling with EV demand and pricing. Barra argues the influx could trigger a race to the bottom that threatens U.S. industry competitiveness.
