- The EU is imposing additional tariffs of up to almost 50 percent on Chinese electric vehicles, despite German government warnings that this could trigger a costly trade war with Beijing.
- The tariffs will be applied to Chinese EVs on top of existing 10 percent tariffs on all Chinese EVs, depending on how they comply with an EU investigation into state support for electric car manufacturers announced last September.
- EU Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said he would utilize the three weeks until definitive duties are imposed on July 4 to negotiate with Beijing. 'We're open to discussing other possible ways to remedy this situation.'
- The EU's decision to impose additional tariffs on Chinese electric cars was supported by France and is expected to generate substantial revenue for the EU budget as the sales of Chinese EVs increase in Europe. According to analysts at Rhodium Group, China exported €10bn worth of electric cars to the EU in 2023.
