The European Union is pushing for the UK to align its tariff policies with its own 45% import duty on Chinese-made electric vehicles, aiming to level the playing field for domestic automakers. The move comes amid growing concerns over unfair competition from heavily subsidized Chinese EV producers flooding European markets. With the UK currently considering its own trade strategy post-Brexit, Brussels is urging closer coordination to prevent market distortions. Industry analysts warn that divergent tariff rates could disrupt supply chains and disadvantage European manufacturers.
