2. EV NEWS: CAR WOW
Chinese electric cars have rapidly gained ground in Britain, but proposed import tariffs could change the market, pushing up prices while protecting UK and European carmakers. Britain is considering tariffs on Chinese electric cars, potentially making some of the UK’s fastest-growing car brands more expensive for buyers.
According to The Times, business secretary Jonathan Reynolds is considering tariffs amid concerns that Chinese manufacturers benefit from state subsidies, allowing them to undercut carmakers based in Europe and the rest of the world. The move would bring the UK closer to the European Union (EU), which introduced duties of up to 45% on Chinese electric cars in 2024.
