That tariff barely covers the exchange rate manipulation. I do think it’s kind of stupid, for goods that are not strategic we should take advantage of the cheap EV prices so we can move more quickly on the green reforms.
The lower tariff on hybrid cars is even dumber, why do we want more polluting cars?
Hybrid cars getting any benefits is dumb, I agree. But I would argue that automotive and just transportation in general are strategic sectors basically anywhere.
I think it’s debatable, trucks and vans are important for logistics but the tariff doesn’t even apply to them. The whole thing is just to protect car industry profits.
No it hasn't and BYD has a factory in hungary now which solves the tarifs issue for BYD
I can see Jaeco, Omoda, BYD, Leapmotor, Lynk, MG... cars all day in Spain.
