"Only" nine percent on Tesla cars, while Geely-owned Volvo cars get tariffs of 19.3 percent. This is what the revised proposal on EU tariffs against China-made electric cars looks like.

The proposal may change before it is finally adopted and comes into force in November.

Other car companies that have collaborated with the EU Commission get tariffs of 21.3 percent, while others get a tariff of 36.3 percent. The tariffs will be added to the already existing ten percent that applies to exports from China.

One factor that means, for example, Tesla and Volvo get lower tariffs than other cars is that China is deemed to provide lower subsidies to foreign car brands that have production in China.

The background to the tariffs is that the EU believes China provides state-subsidized competitive advantages to car production in the country.
