The source indicates the US is sustaining near-total exclusion of Chinese EVs through 100% tariffs and connected-vehicle technology restrictions, while the EU applies provisional tariffs amid internal industry constraints. It also suggests North American policy divergence—especially Canada’s reported 2026 quota-based tariff reduction—could elevate transshipment concerns and reshape regional supply chains.
The source indicates Canada and the European Union are adopting mechanisms that materially improve market access for Chinese EVs, including a major Canadian tariff reduction with an import cap and EU guidance for voluntary price undertakings. These shifts could accelerate Chinese OEM localization strategies and intensify price competition in mass-market EV segments across Western markets.
According to the source, Canada plans to remove an additional 100% tariff on Chinese-made pure electric cars while imposing a 49,000-unit annual quota and retaining a 6.1% tariff. The EU and Beijing also reportedly agreed to replace prior tariff rates with price undertaking agreements, potentially improving margins and enabling a brand-led expansion strategy.
Vietnam and the European Union have upgraded ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, aligning around diversification, supply-chain resilience, and cooperation in sectors such as critical minerals, semiconductors, and trusted infrastructure. The move also reflects Vietnam’s hedging amid U.S. tariff uncertainty and the EU’s broader push toward deeper economic engagement with Southeast Asia.
Canada’s late-2024 tariff reduction on a capped volume of China-made EVs contrasts with continued high barriers in the EU and US. The source suggests Ottawa’s move is linked to reciprocal trade concessions and may heighten North American coordination and enforcement sensitivities.
