EU Prepares to Impose Additional Tariffs on Chinese EV Imports

The European Union is taking decisive steps towards imposing additional tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China, a move that could significantly impact the EV market in Europe. With China exporting approximately $12.7 billion worth of electric vehicles to the EU in 2023 through November, the imposition of tariffs, potentially even retroactively, stands to alter competitive dynamics and pricing structures within the market. This development reflects the EU’s growing concerns over fair market competition and the sustainability of its automotive industry amidst the burgeoning global EV market.
