I wonder why the U.S. is only interested in protecting its car industry and not others.

Because of lobbying. That's usually the answer when policies don't make sense
Both oil and gas lobbying against BEV and USA auto manufacturers who outsource or offshore all their parts already.

USA auto makers can’t compete at China Ev (subsidized?) pricing and probably quality.

Yeah, not many industries can compete but I don’t understand the fixation on only preserving auto.
It still has a car industry. Not the best nor the worst choices and some are even made in the us I think. Some in Canada/Mexico at least at the moment.
