BRUSSELS ¨C The European Union has decided to increase tariffs on Chinese-built electric vehicles to as much as 45.3% at the end of its highest profile investigation that has divided Europe and prompted retaliation from Beijing.
Just over a year after launching its anti-subsidy probe, the European Commission will set out extra tariffs ranging from 7.8% for Tesla to 35.3% for China¡¯s SAIC, on top of the EU¡¯s standard 10% car import duty.
The extra tariffs were formally approved and published in the EU¡¯s Official Journal on Tuesday, meaning they will take effect on Wednesday.
