VTV News | Local Language | News
The EU may need to impose tariffs of up to 55% on Chinese electric vehicles to limit their influx into the internal market. Chinese companies like BYD have significant cost advantages and can sell vehicles in the EU at higher margins than in the domestic market, even with a 10% tax. The EU could potentially use different means to protect its electric vehicle industry, such as restricting imports from China for national security reasons or increasing subsidies for EU-manufactured cars.
