According to this I found from a quick search: https://www.motor.com/2025/05/new-analysis-examines-labor-cost-per-vehicle-amidst-changing-automotive-landscape/
If you put a flat $1000 tariff on Chinese EVs it would more than cover the difference in labour costs.
And it stands to reason, car manufacturing is very automated. Of course you could attempt to factor in the labour costs to build the machines and make the materials used to build the cars too, but you'd need detailed information of what goes into a car, which I don't know.
