China-made EVs win a growing number of European consumers, despite EU’s levying unfair tariffs_我的网站

China-made electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 14.2 percent of European market sales in the first five months of 2026 despite the EU's steep tariffs. The growth showed that trade‑protectionist barriers can only serve as short‑lived obstacles, as consumers' purchasing choice ultimately hinges on product competitiveness and China's EV strengths will support the automakers' long‑term growth, Chinese experts said.
The market share of electric cars sold by Chinese companies rose to 14.2 percent in European market in the first five months of this year, according to Schmidt Automotive Research. The 171,800 EVs sold there represented an increase in market share of five percentage points from one year earlier, the Guardian reported on Sunday.
The increase in European sales comes despite EU tariffs of up to 35.3 percent for EVs made by some Chinese manufacturers, on top of the standard 10-percent import duty. The UK is the largest European market for Chinese cars because London has declined to follow the EU's lead in imposing more levies. The UK accounted for a quarter of Chinese EV sales in Europe, according to the report.
Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association, told the Global Times on Monday that the surge showed trade protectionist policies have failed to contain Chinese automakers' overseas expansion.
Chinese EVs enjoy "a generational edge" over Europe's legacy carmakers. Their overall product strength remains the primary reason behind their popularity among European buyers, Cui said.
Meanwhile, fluctuating global oil prices have pushed up driving costs throughout Europe, fueling demand for affordable electric vehicles, a need well‑met by the affordable Chinese‑made models. Meanwhile, the gradual return of European electric‑vehicle purchase subsidies has lowered purchase barriers and lifted total EV sales, which has in turn worked to the advantage of Chinese exporters, Cui Dongshu said.
Chinese brands expanded their market share in Europe in the first half of 2026 driven by local subsidies and higher oil prices, Fitch Ratings said in a report sent to the Global Times.
The combined market share of leading Chinese brands in the EU, European Free Trade Association and UK rose to 11 percent in the first half of this year, up from 7 percent in the first half of 2025. The largest Chinese players, Geely Group (including Volvo Car) and SAIC Motor, expanded steadily despite the tariffs. The main drivers of market share gains were BYD, Chery and Leap Motor, according to Fitch Ratings.
Cui Dongshu noted that China's EV edge comes from its full‑fledged industrial ecosystem.
Officials from China's Ministry of Commerce told a press conference on July 28 that China boasts a complete, high‑efficiency EV industrial chain covering raw materials, auto parts, finished cars and production equipment, with industry clusters enabling rapid component supplies. China's huge market, the world's largest, has fueled 11 consecutive years of EV sales.
"Protectionism can only put up short‑term entry barriers. It cannot erase the solid strengths of Chinese EVs or stop Chinese brands from establishing a lasting foothold in Europe," Cui Dongshu said.
Yet, geopolitical risks remain as the EU reportedly considers expanding tariffs to restrict Chinese plug-in hybrid EVs.
German media Handelsblatt reported on June 19 that the EU is drawing up new measures to shield its single market more tightly against Chinese imports in the near future, citing senior EU officials and industry insiders. Specifically, the plan could contain countervailing duties to be levied on Chinese‑made plug‑in hybrids.
The rising market share of Chinese‑brand EVs amid EU tariffs has demonstrated that trade barriers cannot distort market choices. If the EU carries out its planned countervailing duties on Chinese plug‑in hybrids, the measure will yield only limited results, Cui Hongjian, a professor at the Academy of Regional and Global Governance at Beijing Foreign Studies University, told the Global Times on Monday.
Europe's problems stem from weak competitiveness and flawed energy policies. The EU ought to cast aside its confrontational mindset, remove unfair restrictions and pursue consultations and cooperation with China. Shifting industrial‑sector conflicts outward cannot remedy the weaknesses of its EV sector and will only damage the EU's reputation for destroying free trade, Cui Hongjian said.
。 노인돌봄센터를 함께 이용하는 동년배와 다투다 주먹을 휘둘러 숨지게 한 80대 남성이 1심에서 실형을 선고받았습니다. 오늘(26일) 법조계에 따르면 수원지법 형사11부(송병훈 부장판사)는 상해치사 혐의로 기소된 A씨에게 징역 1년 6개월을 선고했습니다. 재판부는 A씨가 피해자 유족과 합의할 기회를 부여하기 위해 법정구속은 하지 않았습니다. A씨는 지난해 3월 24일 경기 수원시 권선구의 한 노인돌봄센터에서 같은 80대인 B씨와 다투다 B씨의 눈 부위를 두 차례에 걸쳐 주먹으로 때려 숨지게 한 혐의로 기소됐습니다. B씨는 이튿날인 25일 구토 증세와 함께 의식이 저하돼 병원 응급실로 옮겨져 수술받았으나 3개월가량 뒤 외상성 경막밑출혈로 사망했습니다. 재판부는 "피고인의 폭행 외에는 다른 충격이 가해진 적이 없고, 담당 의사 역시 자발성 뇌출혈로 보기 어렵다는 소견을 냈다"며 "고령인 B씨의 뇌실질 위축 상태를 고려할 때 피고인의 폭행과 사망 사이의 인과관계가 인정된다"고 밝혔습니다. 이어 "사람의 얼굴이나 머리 부분에 강한 충격이 가해질 경우 외상이 없더라도 치명상이 될 수 있음은 누구나 예견할 수 있다"며 "특히 피해자와 같이 고령인 사람의 경우 사망 가능성은 더욱 크다"고 덧붙였습니다. 재판부는 "피해자가 먼저 피고인의 발을 밟으려 하는 등 폭행을 유발한 측면이 있는 점, 유족이 수령을 거부했으나 피고인이 1,500만원을 형사 공탁한 점 등을 유리한 정상으로 참작했다"고 양형 이유를 밝혔습니다.[사진 출처 : 연합뉴스]■ 제보하기▷ 전화 : 02-781-1234, 4444▷ 이메일 : [email protected]▷ 카카오톡 : 'KBS제보' 검색, 채널 추가▷ 유튜브, 다음에서도 KBS뉴스를 구독해주세요!。
