Germany wants the EU to set tariffs on electric vehicles at a low level to avoid severe retaliation from Beijing.
Germany has launched an 11th-hour bid to avert a full-scale trade war between Europe and China, resisting French calls to hit Chinese electric vehicles with punitive duties.
With a decision by the European Commission imminent, both Paris and Berlin have ramped up their lobbying efforts — with conflicting messages on just how tough Ursula von der Leyen’s executive should get on Beijing.
The EU executive is expected to inform Chinese EV-makers on Wednesday of temporary duties resulting from its probe into unfair state subsidies. EU member countries would then vote this fall to confirm the duties — making it vital for von der Leyen to pitch them at a level that the bloc’s two heavyweights can live with.
Yes VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes are all definitely garbage. /s
Absolutely the companies that make some of the best cars in the world, should make better cars. What a moronic comment!
They are actually very attractive offerings too, I recently tried a BMW eDrive i4-40, it’s an absolutely amazing car. And VW has some pretty attractive prices IMO.
You have no idea about cars or the repairs you have to do on them to make such a statement.
It’s not 1990 anymore.
Actually your entire tone makes me wonder if you aren’t the moron all long 🤔
