The European Commission has announced plans to slap tariffs of up to 36.3 percent on Chinese-made electric cars. The move is aimed at countering what the EU perceives as unfair trade practices, including subsidies for Chinese car manufacturers. However Tesla cars made in China are to face a lower duty of 9 percent.
The revised rates were published on Tuesday as part of the Commission's investigation into alleged subsidies for imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles into Europe.
