If the complexity barrier to buy one of these low cost EVs in North America were eliminated, the auto industry would go through an upheaval. The Changli Freeman is a decently built EV that costs $1,200 in China. Less than $4,000 all in and you can import one, but the hoops you jump through are a bit much.

Here's a good article by Jason Torchinsky on the EV market in China, and unrelated but here's a good way to get by a paywalled article.
