China-EU EV Talks Resume: Commerce Ministry Pushes for Coordinated Price Plan Amid High Tariffs.

China's commerce ministry said on Thursday negotiations with the European Union over a minimum price plan for China-made electric vehicles have restarted and would continue into next week, while urging the bloc not to talk independently with producers.


The EU increased tariffs on Chinese-built EVs to as much as 45.3% last October, but Brussels and Beijing have floated the idea of lifting the tariffs through possible commitments to minimum prices for imported cars.
