    Elektrek had a nice article about the same. This has happened before in the 70s when Japan mass produced smaller fuel efficient vehicles. US auto manufacturers pushed for tariffs instead of actually improving, and this backfired amidst the fuel crisis, US cars (and other exports) suffered retaliatory tariffs, and Japan took the lead in global auto manufacturing. With Chinese industry so focused on EVs, in time some brands will figure out how to create a premium driving experience (it's a big country, 3x the EU and 4x the US, so the range from budget to premium can be deep), and the US and EU auto industries will be left holding the bag. Keep up the great work Bjorn, we're not all haters 😊

    Germany is against the EU tax because they consider China as their biggest client,( it will eventually effect their export) France however supports the EU tax rule. Personally I think it is a good rule to force the European car manufacturers to produce their electric cars in Europe. For example the Mini cabrio Ev was produced in the Netherlands 999 each then BMW moved production to China.

      That's wisdom there folks. Chinese manufacturers could also produce their cars in the EU. The international supply chain is so fracked up that it's more profitable to build a 2T+ vehicle on the other side of the globe with miserable workers and import it, than building it only a few hundreds kilometers from the final clients. What a crazy world.

    Björn, I usually like your vids but this time, it isn't the German (premium) brands which are in favour of the increased import taxes, but rather the small-car-makers in Europe.
    The luxurious/premium brands want to sell their ice-cars in EU and need the Geely bevs (Smart/Mini/Volvo) for CO2-compensation, the others with more efficient/smaller cars simply don't, also they are not depending on exports to China.

    People seem to forget that when German and US manufacterers wanted to enter the Chinese market they were forced to have joint partnerships with Chinese companies and imports to China had tariffs on them and still do. If the Chinese want to compete in Germany and the US make them build plants in those countries and add to the local economy rather than import from China. Nobody is against Chinese vehicles, but if you are not adding to the local economy then you should pay additional tariffs on your products you import to those countries.

    Chinese EV industry is much more developed compared to EU and European brands are struggling to catch up. That’s what all the experts are saying on Deutsche Welle. 😅 In my opinion additional tax on chinese brands could help in short term but longer term I am not sure. In general I think chinese car brands are putting more effort in EV research and development. Their success could not only be explained with state subsidies. Look for example at Yangwang U8, Xiaomi SU7 or NIO ET9 and how far they have come.

    for the German cars, they're truly shattered quality - I've rented combustion MG ZS, and it was truly 💩, despite it was new car (10k km on the odo). So big no to Chinese if they're selling sheet just a little bit cheaper than Tesla, but with huge subsidies and truly poor quality

      However, the new tariffs might reduce the sales of Chinese brands in the EU, and as a result, Chinese manufacturers' interest in Norway might also decrease. They may have seen Norway as a pilot area for Europe.

    To be honest I wish it was possible to buy an EV without any autosteer etc if it could lower the price( I know it wont get 5 star NCAP). I just dislike using any kind of autosteering or one pedal driving.

    What if China export their cars from Thailand ? if the Chinese has a technology advantage, all they have to do is build a factory in a cheap EU country or even other cheap Asian country and they'll just by pass your tariff. Then what ? EU brands also have to sell to other markets. If your cars are not competitive, how can you compete in other markets. The Correct strategies will be to work with the Chinese car makers. And try take market share away from Japanese and American car makers.

    1:50 - Norway is in the EEA, so movement of goods, services and people within the common market. 2:50 - MG/SAIC are wholly owned by the Chinese government. The penalty is the highest because they get the most assistance. 10:50 - the prices could be a lot cheaper, the profit margins with the kickbacks are reported to be extremely healthy, to the point that most manufacturers will just absorb the tariffs with little impact on prices.
    The aim of this is to protect industrial capability in the EU in general. This is why EU companies are also having tariffs applied to cars they make in China. The message to Chinese manufacturers is: If you want to sell a lot of cars in the EU you need to do what the Japanese manufacturers did in the 80’s and 90’s and build factories in the EU.

    China has massive tarrifs on imported cars from europe and the US, so raising tarrifs in those areas is only fair and the main goal is to make the chinese manufacturers open factories here and create jobs here just like Tesla and others have opened factories over there to gain access to the Chinese market.

    Any region would prefer its local industry to compare fairly against import. If you tax your local industry 20%, and import 20%, they can compete. If the foreign industry is given the ability to use sløve labor, or the government there lowers domestic prices for raw goods for the production, or even takes money earned elsewhere and gives to the business in order to strategically boost the production and thus make their products be more important globally, then the competition is not fair. The import tax is thus used to make sure that the local industry has a chance to compete even though it pays a proper living wage to its workers, uses fairly priced and produced raw materials, and is an positive asset for the local economy.
    China wants the global economy to be dependent on their exports, giving them a political advantage. They use their ownership of raw materials and their low wages, and subsidies, as a tool to gain global political influence. If we let them undermine our own economy just because we want cheap cars, we are pissing our pants to keep warm. When our industry is dead, they will start blackmailing us and our kids into submission.

    Bjorn,
    If you want to understand the tariffs, you'll have to zoom out a little bit. It's not really about cars.
    Since WWII the Americans are the dominant global force. The dollar is the only reserve currency in the world, so they have pretty much unlimited financial resources in the international sense and they have a military presence everywhere. The last 25 years or so, global economic growth has been driven for a big part by BRICS countries and China especially. So much, that China is now a leading economy.
    Europe has always aligned its interests with the Americans, but China doesn't want to. If you really want to go deep into this subject, you could find out about Xi Jinping's views on a multipolair world. Anyway, China is trying to break the US hegemony and find some room for itself. That doesn't please the Americans and they are resisting in any way they can.
    The EU tariffs are a result of that. The EU is siding with the US in its resistance of emerging Chinese influence. One aspect is that China has started investing in renewable energy sooner and much more prominently than EU/US and now has a firm grasp on global supply chains for all kinds of technology. Since it's clear that renewables are cheaper and the energy supply of the near future, it's a very real threat to western dominance. That's a major reason why both EU and US try to limit China EV sales globally.
    You can find some clues for this analysis in the EU subsidy probe. Chinese automakers were forced to answer a questionaire with very detailed questions about their technology and resources. They had to disclose entire supply chains (from the resource level up) on all EV related parts, exact chemistry of batteries and in addition to that full disclosure about their sales channels in China. No one said it, but the probe was very close to industrial espionage.
    By the way, MG got the highest tariff, not because of subsidies, but because they rejected to disclose the exact chemistry of their batteries. They felt it was strategic and sensitive business information.
    The case was built around subsidies however. You've probably seen reports in the past of huge amounts of money flowing to Chinese manufacturers from the government. The thing is, this isn't really subsidy for the manufacturer, but for the consumers.
    I don't know about Norway, but in my country (Netherlands) there is an EV incentive. Let's say my EV costs $30.000 and there is a $2.000 incentive. The system is as follows. I buy the car, pay $30.000 to the manufacturer and then the government pays me €2.000.
    If I was in China than this was the situation: I buy the car, pay $28.000 to the manufacturer and the government pays $2.000 to the manufacturer.
    The net result is exactly identical: I get a car for $28.000, there's a $2.000 contribution in public money and the manufacturer gets $30.000. The difference is, in China there's a money trail, a subsidy payment, to the manufacturer instead of the consumer. This was used to create the tariffs.
    Google "CSIS china ev subsidy" and you'll find an American think tank that investigated Chinese subsidies from 2009 until now. Total amount is $230 billion, which is of course a huge number. Of this $230B paid to manufacturers, $185B are in fact consumer subsidies and tax breaks as I explained above. So, real subsidies (for R&D or government procurement of products) amount to $45B in 15 years. Still a lot, but not excessive, or out of bounds with EU/US industry subsidies. The US spend even more on saving GM from bankruptcy.
    So there you have it. Tariffs are a pure geopolitical game over global hegemony. The EU case is built legally on very thin ice and the result is bad for ordinary citizens: prices go up and the renewable energy transition will most likely be slowed down. The fossil fuel industry (which got a multitude of $230 billion in subsidies over the last 15 years) will love it.

    Björn, you are doing great videos on reviewing EVs, I really like your content. But afraid to say, you don’t seem to know a lot about international trade. If the EU wouldn’t take any action (as the US is doing), China will continue to subsidize, eventually dominate the market and the EU made cars (in your view overpriced) will decline. The result will be that European industry will slowly decline, jobs will go, prosperity will go down. You can apply that same logic to any industry, whether its EVs, steel or other goods. Eventually the low cost of subsidized goods that appeals to buyers fires back with a loss of jobs. Market competition and free trade only works when there is a level playing field and no unfair practices…..that for sure is not the case with China.

    There's no such thing as competition with a country that doesn't care about paper losses if it means the destruction of the industrial production base outside its own borders.
