The effective time ranges from 2024 to 2026. Among them, the largest increase is electric vehicles, from China, from China, from China, from China. The tariff rate of electric vehicles will be increased from 25%to 100%. If it is considered to be a 2.5%basic tariff on electric vehicles, the final tax rate will reach 102.5%. In addition, the tariff rate of electric vehicle lithium batteries will be increased from 7.5%to 25%, and the tariff rate of battery components will be increased from 7.5%to 25%.

According to data released by the China Automobile Industry Association, China’s passenger car sales in April were 2001,000, a year -on -year increase of 10.5%, and a decrease of 10.5%month -on -month. Among them, new energy vehicles were sold for 950,000 units, an increase of 33.5%year -on -year, far exceeding the overall overall as a whole Car sales increase. In addition, China’s automobile exports were 504,000 units in April, an increase of 34%year -on -year. The increase in automobile exports was greater than domestic sales.
However, according to the data of the multiplier, the proportion of Chinese electric vehicles to the US market is not large. Data show that in 2024, the entire car export is mainly Russia, Mexico, Belgium, Brazil and other markets. Among them, the Russian market ranks first, which is 176,400 units.

However, domestic car companies seem to care more about the EU’s attitude compared to the US market. This time, the European
Commission also announced that it will impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, and it is expected to begin in July. Unlike the US market, Chinese electric vehicles have achieved attention in the European market. From 2019 to 2023, the share of Chinese brands such as BYD in the European electric vehicle market soared from 0.4%to 8%, which fully proves its powerful competition. Power and extensive market recognition. If the EU impacts tariffs on electric vehicles from China, it may be a significant impact, but the impact of this move is not only Chinese car companies, but also those exported to the European market after production in China to the European market. Car companies, such as BMW, Volkswagen, Smart, etc. These brand managers have repeatedly protested.
