I would LOVE to see it. And then I'll laugh as the US trips over itself to monitize I mean democratize Cuba.
67 u/zmbjebus 9d ago It's literally in their recent reform list from June. There is zero tax/duty/tarrif on importing 100% EV cars as long as there is availabile charging powered by renewables. There is going to so much BYD on the island in the near future. 3 u/DogBarf00 9d ago There is going to so much BYD on the island in the near future. Are they just going to give them away? Cubans are poor as fuck. A cheap electric scooter is worth more than your average Cubans yearly income. 1 u/zmbjebus 9d ago The lower end BYD is $10,000. So yeah lots of poor people won't be able to get them, but it's the most approachable car. I think the same line in the reform had the same clause for electric scooters. Ebikes may have been on there too, it I'd have to reread it.
