The European Commission has revised tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, leading to significant reductions for automakers like Tesla and Volkswagen. Tesla's EU import tariff dropped from 20.8% to 9%, while Volkswagen's Cupra Tavascan saw its tariff lowered from 37.6% to 21.3%. These changes are part of the Commission's efforts to balance competition within the EU market following an investigation into Chinese EV imports.
However, not all automakers benefited—non-cooperating companies still face a maximum tariff of 37.6%. Combined with existing EU import duties, these adjustments result in a total duty of up to 46.3% for some Chinese-made EVs, highlighting the ongoing global trade tensions. As the EU recalibrates its policies, Tesla and Volkswagen are strategically navigating the new landscape to remain competitive in Europe.
