[dongchedi original industry] on september 24, a media report said that li bin, founder, chairman and ceo of nio, talked about the views of europe and the united states on imposing tariffs on china's new energy vehicles in an interview:

recently, both europe and the united states have increased tariffs on china's smart electric vehicle industry. on the one hand, this is because china's smart electric vehicle industry has its own advantages in terms of products, technology, and cost. we are also very sorry to see such things being politicized.

i think it makes no sense to impose such tariffs on the new energy vehicle industry. this matter itself is a good thing for sustainable development and for the global solution to climate change. the chinese government is very open to the world, whether it is tesla in china or volkswagen in china.

the background of the matter is that in june this year, the european commission issued a statement that it plans to impose temporary anti-subsidy duties on electric vehicles imported from china from july 4.

among them, byd, geely and saic, which have cooperated with the sampling survey, will be imposed tariffs of 17.4%, 20% and 38.1% respectively; in addition, a weighted average tax of 21% will be imposed on chinese electric vehicle manufacturers that cooperate with the eu investigation but have not yet been sampled; a tariff of 38.1% will be imposed on other chinese electric vehicle manufacturers that have not cooperated with the investigation; tesla, which produces electric vehicles in china, may receive a separately calculated tax rate in the final stage.

the eu is imposing tariffs on imported electric vehicles produced by chinese companies such as byd, geely and saic. the proposed final tariffs will be decided by a vote of the 27 eu member states. unless 15 eu member states representing 65% of the eu population vote against the imposition, the tariffs will be implemented at the end of october.

the european union plans to hold a vote on september 25 to impose final tariffs on electric vehicles imported from china. previously, the european commission proposed to impose a final tariff of up to 35.3% on electric vehicles produced in china, which is higher than the eu's standard 10% automobile import tariff. last week, the eu received a minimum import price proposal from chinese electric vehicle manufacturers to avoid tariffs, but it was rejected by the eu.
