EU to Impose Tariffs on Chinese Electric Vehicles

By David Sachs

 

The European Commission plans to impose new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles after a probe provisionally found that state subsidies unfairly hurt EU manufacturers.

All battery-electric vehicle producers in China that cooperated with the investigation will have to pay an additional duty of 21%, the Commission said. BYD, Geely, and SAIC will be subject to new tariffs of 17.4%, 20%, and 38.1%, respectively.

European carmakers including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen face pricing and market-share pressure in China from homegrown manufacturers like BYD and Geely, which also have growth plans in Europe.
