A number of tariffs could support EV prices going forward, while Tesla and BYD vie for the lead.

Beijing on Thursday slammed EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles as protectionist behaviour even as the country's top auto exporter said the duties would not derail its expansion plans for Europe, including making EVs in Spain this year.

The European Commission said on Wednesday it would set provisional duties of up to 38.1% on imports of Chinese electric vehicles, a move likely to draw possible retaliation from China.

China has been accused of dumping cheap electric cars on EU countries. But poor sales, price wars and tariff threats have prompted a change of mood among some Chinese auto producers.

The EU is set to impose tariffs of up to 38% on Chinese electric vehicles to stop the dumping of cheap cars. But some auto producers are already scaling back investments in Europe due to poor sales.

European governments may be wary of budget Chinese electric vehicles flooding their markets but they're also fiercely competing for a share of the manufacturing investment and jobs the new competitors bring. While the European Union investigates China's auto subsidies and considers tariffs on imports, national governments across the bloc are dangling their own incentives to attract Chinese automakers looking to build European factories. Manufacturing costs for Chinese EV makers including BYD, Chery Automobile and state-owned SAIC Motor are much lower at home but they are nonetheless keen to set up in Europe to build their brands and save on shipping and potential tariffs, said Gianluca Di Loreto, a partner at consultancy firm Bain & Company.
