EU also against cheap EVs

News.com.au reports:

China’s thriving electric vehicle market has taken a brutal hit after the European Union voted to slap huge additional taxes on all EVs made in China.

Ten EU member states including France, Italy and Poland supported imposing the tariffs of up to 35.3 percent, coming on top of existing duties of 10 percent.

Only five including Germany and Hungary voted against while 12 abstained including Spain and Sweden – not enough to block the tariffs.

The cheaper EVs are, the more people who will buy them. The EU (like the US) is showing that they are more concerned about their domestic car industries than about climate change.
