      Great deal! Why should we, europeans, buy chinese cars and support chinese economy? We should support european car production, which is good for our economy!

    2. Because we can’t have cheap electric cars competing with more expensive petrol powered cars we’re making in Europe.

      *From Bloomberg News reporters Alberto Nardelli and Jorge Valero:*

      The European Union voted on Friday to impose tariffs as high as 45% on electric vehicles from China in a move set to increase trade tensions with Beijing, according to people familiar with the process.

      The European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, can now proceed with implementing the duties, which would last for five years, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Ten member states voted in favor of the measure, while Germany and four others voted against and 12 abstained.

      The decision by the EU comes after an investigation found that China unfairly subsidized its industry. Beijing denies that claim and has threatened its own tariffs on European dairy, brandy, pork and automobile sectors.

      Perfect. I kinda expected more but this is a good first step. China is price dumping with their trash products.
      Don’t buy Chinese stuff if you don’t have to.

      European producers are relieved. They can continue building low spec, expensive EVs.

      this is bad move ,you want people to buy these EVs , considering the eu is planning to ban ice cars in less than a decade

      i 1000% dont care if the german car industry cant build cheap evs , if they cant they shouldnt be be able to survive

      So there will most likely be reciprocal tariffs, right?

      So basically europeans suffer from higher prices because local companies couldn‘t keep the global pace..

      Protecting our failing industries over the backs of European consumers. When is VW’s €15k EV launching with a range of 400km? Or Renault’s?

      Not very passionate about Chinese products, but part of imposing a tariff should also be a plan how to innovate and create a competing / better product in the interest of Europe’s future competitiveness.

      But that’s of course difficult if it concerns EU policymakers.

      Making rules? Sure!
      Protecting Günther’s and Arnauld’s stock prices, the guys that we know so well from our Advisory Board side hustle at Volkswagen and Renault? Happy to, good for our stock portfolio too.
      Making a plan how European consumers will be better off, how we reduce fossil fuels use and come up with competing products? Let’s just wait a bit, by the time Europe becomes an Open Air Museum we will be retired anyways. And Günther and Arnauld too btw.

    10. Is anyone aware that this also effects cars built by european companies built in china … iirc the most affected brands are german ones.
