Argentina is hitting the gas pedal on economic reforms, with President Javier Milei announcing plans to scrap tariffs on imported electric vehicles (EVs). The move aims to supercharge competition, lower prices for consumers, and align with Milei's broader agenda to tackle inflation—currently soaring at over 200%—by slashing regulations and trade barriers.
Unlike the U.S.'s recent focus on domestic EV subsidies, Argentina's approach leans into globalization, betting that cheaper imports will drive innovation and green adoption. Experts suggest this could turn the country into a hub for affordable EVs in Latin America, attracting tech-savvy buyers and eco-conscious investors.
CGTN reports that Milei's team sees this as a 'win-win': boosting access to sustainable tech while curbing inflation through market liberalization. But critics warn of risks to local manufacturers. Can Argentina balance its free-market Batman persona with long-term industrial stability? Stay tuned.
