A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has urged the Biden administration to consider increasing tariffs on Chinese cars and strengthening rules on countries of origin to prevent Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) from flooding the United States.

The group, led by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), who chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), expressed concerns that due to Beijing’s unfair policies, Chinese EVs might soon flood the U.S. market, hurting American automakers and workers.
