Subject: Re: Canada May Remove 100%Tariff On Chinese Made EVs
There are a few factors to consider:

Are there other options which meet all reasonable requirements and which would save money? (paying more for features which are unlikely to offer significant benefits doesn't make sense)

In this context, the total cost of ownership over the life expectancy of the item - including training, maintenance, upgrades, fuel usage. etc.
Is the compatible avionics and weapons system available from multiple sources? Who is the likely adversary and how does the hardware match up against there systems and tactics.

Assuming parity in choices, are there current or potential political benefits or liabilities to making the choices?
Are there potential export license restrictions on some major component.
