EU-China Electric Vehicle Tariff talks remain deadlocked

In recent EU-China talks on Electric Vehicle (EV) tariffs, Chinese officials returned without an agreement. The EU plans to impose tariffs up to 35.3% on Chinese-made EVs by month-end. China seeks a broad deal for all exporters, while the EU insists on individual company agreements. Beijing denies unfair advantages and warns Tariffs could harm climate goals and increase EV costs​.
