This is extremely generalized falsely concluding from “American” to be the same as “Western”, when the reality the difference is HUGE between Europe and USA.
In USA Ford and GM have discontinued some of their more popular EV models. This is NOT happening in EU.
On the contrary EU manufacturers continue to expand their EV product lines.
The headline is a very big false equivalence.
Obviously Chinese brands have more success in EU, with about 13% tariffs than in USA with 150% tariffs.
Still European makers continue to compete on EV.
You can’t lump USA and Europe together on EV, they are very different markets, and Trump is specifically undermining EV production now!
You also can’t lump in South Korea, that have been very active making good electric cars, Japan is behind, and especially Honda seems to be pulling back on EV, but Toyota is finally beginning to show some decent offerings, and Nissan has been in the EV market for years now.
The article seems to think USA is “the west”, when it is nothing like it.
Chinese EVs have up to 45% tariffs in the EU. The exact amount is different for each company and depends on the amount of state funding that company had received
13% is about average, brands that cooperate with EU have lower rates, obviously brands that export to EU cooperate.
AFAIK no brand is paying anything near 45%.

And yet, EU automakers get billions in state funding from governments.
And you think the Chinese automakers are… ???
