2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Review – Cheap(ish) Speed

The Truth About Cars

JULY 24, 2023

The EcoBoost version of the Mustang has offered over 300 horsepower since 2015. Digital controls may look a little cleaner, but sometimes simple is better – and digital controls tend not to be as simple as physical controls. If you can’t afford a GT but really, really want a Mustang, the EcoBoost is a nice consolation prize.

Biden quadruples tariffs on Chinese EVs, up from 25% to 100%

MAY 14, 2024

However, given Chinese EVs are incredibly affordable , even a 25% tariff might have resulted in competitive prices. China was originally somewhat slow to adopt EVs – in 2015, EV market share was just.84%, And the net effect of that is lower EV adoption – which means Americans won’t get cleaner air as quickly as we would otherwise.

But instead of just de facto banning the competition from giving Americans access to affordable hot new EVs, the US should instead try making affordable hot new EVs itself. The largest of these new entrants is the second most populous country in the world, the world’s largest exporter and its second-largest economy: China.
