The EU imposes high tariffs on Chinese electric cars, escalating trade friction between China and Europe!

LienNov 01, 2024, 03:39 PM

The European Commission announces that a high tariff of up to 35.3% on electric vehicles made in China, a decision that will undoubtedly exacerbate trade friction between China and Europe. This move aims to protect the domestic auto industry in Europe, dealing with the intense competition from Chinese electric vehicles.


This move by the European Union has provoked strong dissatisfaction in Beijing. It is reported that China has taken countermeasures, instructing Chinese car manufacturers to temporarily suspend investment in European countries that support increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This action is a direct response to the EU's previous imposition of tariffs and marks a further escalation in the Sino-European electric vehicle trade war.

The EU's tariff policy will have a profound impact on the global electric vehicle industry. On the one hand, it may lead to a reorganization of the global electric vehicle supply chain, and some Chinese electric vehicle companies may seek new markets. On the other hand, it will also accelerate the development of the local electric vehicle industry in Europe to reduce its dependency on imports. High tariffs will undoubtedly weaken the competitiveness of Chinese electric vehicles in the European market. However, given the advantages of Chinese electric vehicle companies in terms of technology and cost, some companies may still cope with the challenge through measures such as adjusting export strategies and optimizing product structures.


The European Union's tariff policy aims to protect the local auto industry, but it may also bring some negative effects. High tariffs may increase the cost for European consumers to buy electric vehicles, thus suppressing the market demand for electric vehicles. In addition, if the Chinese government takes retaliatory measures, European auto exports to China will also be affected.

The trade dispute between China and Europe will have a profound impact on the development of the global electric vehicle industry. On the one hand, the rise of trade protectionism may hinder the coordinated development of the global electric vehicle industry. On the other hand, the intensification of competition will also prompt governments and companies of various countries to increase their investment in the research and development of electric vehicle technology, thereby accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the electric vehicle industry.
