The European Commission will launch an anti-subsidy investigation against Chinese automakers, which may result in higher import duties on electric vehicles.

    The German car makers are loosing in the EV war in China, due to too high cost. Especially Volkswagen is among the best in terms of EVs, Europe has to offer. I am sorry, but same specs with half the price is a really good selling point. With subsidies that is very much possible.

      German cars in europe are losing the EV war in Europe because of high costs. China can just throw cars below ID3 prices onto the market and it’s gonna look like a good deal. Chinese cars also don’t have to follow any data protection laws in their software. If VW is the best European EV I can’t say as I’ve not driven anything but VW, BYD and Nio.

        Did you see how terrible the recent privacy results were for European and US car manufacturers? What extra metrics can the Chinese cars gather?
