China has decried an EU decision to hike tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles as "a blatant act of protectionism". The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, said that starting from early July, it would impose provisional tariffs that would slap Chinese automakers with additional duties as high as 38%, up from the current level of 10%, if talks with China do not lead to an effective solution. Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong blasted the move on Thursday. “It will not only damage the legitimate rights and interests of China's electric vehicle industry, disrupt the mutua...

In Germany, the automo...

"This law stipulates you cannot give indications that mislead consumers ... a car called Milano must be produced in Italy." The car is now called ...

The European elections are approaching and with them the usual hand-wringing about a lack of interest from the electorate. The European Union is a behemoth, involved in so many things that even the biggest political enthusiasts find it difficult to keep track.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has weighed in on the debate over how to expand the electric car market, saying on Tuesday that growth will depend on their affordability and the availability of charging points.

Chinese companies with production facilities abroad had achieved strong sales in overseas markets with more affordable models launched in 2022 and 2023...
