DATAPOINT OF THE WEEK:

The European Commission announced on Wednesday that it would impose extra duties of up to 38.1% on imported Chinese electric cars starting in July. Brussels stated it would add tariffs of 17.4% for BYD, 20% for Geely, and 38.1% for SAIC on top of the existing 10%, citing excessive subsidies as the reason. The EU's provisional duties are set to apply by July 4, with the anti-subsidy investigation continuing until November 2, when definitive duties, typically for five years, could be enforced. The Commission indicated it would apply rates of 21% for companies deemed to have cooperated with the investigation and 38.1% for those that had not. China responded by calling the tariffs protectionist behavior. Reports suggest the German government is working to prevent or soften the European Union's new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles due to concerns that China may retaliate against German automakers operating in China.
